Gregory Bald Overnight Loop - Fontana Village North Carolina Hikes

This hike combines the best that the high and low country have to offer. First, you'll travel up the Twentymile Trail past Twentymile Cascades to the Upper Flats streamside camp. Then an arduous climb tops out on Long Hungry Ridge and leads to the Gregory Bald Trail, arriving at the southern Appalachians most famous bald, with its staggering views and flower displays. Camp at Sheep Pen Gap, a high country grassy glade between Gregory Bald and Parson Bald. Leave the gassy balds and complete your loop via the steep Wolf Ridge Trail.
