Off-Roading in and around Asheville, NC?

Hi all, my family of 5 is planning a three day vacation this October to Asheville, North Carolina and I'm taking my Taco and my dad wants to bring his 2017 Jeep Rubicon. But We don't know where to ride! Please share any and all places to wheel.

Thanks

 

If you're looking for forest road type wheeling, both Cherokee and Pisgah National Forests are near by and offer miles and miles of backcountry roads, some more fun than others.

 

Pisga looks pretty cool. Do you know if there's any technical stuff in Cherokee or pisga?

 

Pretty decent looking area - here are a few links:

Nothing really technical. Toughest terrain you will encounter is washed out / un-maintained service roads. Very pretty driving though.

 

I think we might take a look at Brown Mountain OHV in Pisga. looks technical. y'all heard about this place?
