Wow. What a wonderful day here in Western North Carolina on Re-Opening Day (Oct 18, 2024) in Pisgah National Forest after being closed for 23 days due to Helene ravaging through the area. I was truly afraid of what I might see in the wake of this storm in the forest...but I'm delighted to report otherwise!
A very special thanks to all the people who worked tirelessly during these 23 days to clear landslides and tree debris from access roads!
I
took 276 from the Brevard, NC side then turned left towards the fish
hatchery to rd 455 to the trailhead of the Daniel Ridge Loop trail.
While the changes to the landscape and riverbeds is clearly
recognizable, the forest is rested and ready for your visit to admire
her beauty once again!
Beyond thrilled to have been back in the
sanctuary of nature once again!
Note: There are hazards in various places and some trails are storm-damaged so it's important you stay alert when visiting Pisgah.
