Two friends and I had been planning to leave on a thru hike of the Foothills trail next week. However, with the current park and trail closures due to fire, it looks like we may have to come up with an alternative plan. We will be leaving from Charlotte Thursday morning and will have to be back at Charlotte Wednesday morning. So we have a total of 6 days for travel/hiking. Does anyone have any recommendations for 4-5 day hikes in NC, Eastern Tennessee, or Southern Virginia (or any other area within 5 hours of Charlotte)? We have two cars, so we will not be limited to loops, but would like to hike at least 40-50 miles. Thanks!
