    Welcome to TW. I got to spend a couple days camping in Cherokee National Forest last year. That might be my favorite part of the country that I've seen so far.

    CNF is very underappreciated. Same mountains as the Smokies without all the tourists!

    What area did you stay?

    We stayed at some campground that was just an open field one night. Don't remember where exactly but the owner's name was "Windy-like a windy day." Very cool guy. The second day we stayed at Dennis Cove campground which turned out to be a great spot. We hiked Coon Den Falls and Laurel Falls from there. I think those trails were rated moderate-they would be "difficult" in the MD/PA area. I had to carry my dog through the worst of it. Really beautiful spots though. The woods were similar to the mid Atlantic but the terrain was much more rugged. I will definitely be back. I would've liked to do some light off roading but we were worn out from blazing the trail up to flagpole knob in VA before going to TN. It took 2 days to go 5.6 miles...
