Wayah Bald

This is a historical forest service road with Appalachian history. You will come across an old ranger station from the early 1900s with a billboard history of the station, the road, and the fire tower at the top of the mountain. This is a very easy trail; it's a well-maintained gravel road all the way to the top. What it lacks in technical 4x4 off-roading, it makes up for in big views and history. Once at the top, you will be just over a mile above sea level with the ability to see most of Western North Carolina's national parks as well as South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee.
