You do have to pay an entrance fee there, but the trails are sooo beautiful. I should add a disclaimer though - when I went there, the furry kids did not go with me. So I can't remember how doggie-accessible the trails are. There's a great book...although as much as you guys hike, you may already have it - Best Hikes with Dogs North Carolina by Karen Chavez. Highly recommended if you don't already have it. (Amazon could probably get it to you in two days!) <br /><br />I wonder if ya'll have friends/family in western NC. If not, and if you need any specific advice as your trip gets closer (like "what's the weather?" or "where's the best place to park for yadda yadda") - feel free to email me bloominbATyahoo.com. I'd be happy to be your email tour guide. :)Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734831781770841734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912086408112188121.post-68277890052634931462011-08-29T15:59:28.126-05:002011-08-29T15:59:28.126-05:00Oh, and Lady, Lucky, and Katie want me to let you ...Oh, and Lady, Lucky, and Katie want me to let you know that the Biltmore has lots of trails that allow dogs too. :)Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734831781770841734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912086408112188121.post-49176706810240662212011-08-29T15:58:03.796-05:002011-08-29T15:58:03.796-05:00Oh yes, you're going to love it - it's act...Oh yes, you're going to love it - it's actually been CHILLY in the morning here (upper 50s), so bring a jacket! The Tanawha trail is awesome, very interesting, very unique! Many of the trails around Mt. Mitchell are currently closed due to bear activity. However, the trail from the Mt. Mitchell parking lot over to Mt. Craig is open, or was a couple weeks ago. That's short (about a mile out and a mile back), but challenging as you scramble up and down steep areas and rock formations - with a beautiful view once you get over to Mt. Craig. Then, afterward, if there's a shady spot for Mom to park you (I'm sure it will be plenty cool enough), Mom and Dad can eat in the little restaurant at the park. It's fun, especially when they bring leftovers back out to the car in a styrofoam container.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734831781770841734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912086408112188121.post-20960877850150070712011-08-29T09:17:43.685-05:002011-08-29T09:17:43.685-05:00I was wondering where you got to anna banana - hop...I was wondering where you got to anna banana - hopefully soon it will be begin to cool down - I hear you on that one - feels like we have been stuck inside since winter !Cowspotdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227650305173077541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912086408112188121.post-30063322969818110542011-08-28T16:46:40.420-05:002011-08-28T16:46:40.420-05:00Oh, Anna, when you is close to Furginia, if'n ...Oh, Anna, when you is close to Furginia, if'n you is close enuff to Grayson Highlands State Park you just has to go there and hike on the Appalachian Trail to see the wild ponies.
