Comments
Nice little trail that eventually leads us to the Swannanoa and Graffiti Rock. We've hiked from the other direction (Owen Park), but that section has been closed since the hurricane. If interested, we'll hike past Graffiti Rock towards Owen Park and see how far it's open. Be prepared to see quite a bit of Helene destruction.
