[Edited] Out and back is what I had in mind. As for the distance. I'm now learning the trail is longer than 6 miles, so I'm open to a longer out and back. I'll try to get more information about the newly opened sections.
I compared the extension trail reported on REI hiking project and All Trails. REI has the trail as ~6 miles from Jumping Off Rock Trailhead (Flint Rd) to Luther Trailhead (Pisgah Covered Bridge Rd). All Trails has the trail as ~8 miles from Jumping Off Rock Trailhead (Flint Rd) to King Mountain (peak elevation) and back.
So just thinking through the trip, maybe hike end to end (6 miles) then back track to King Mountain for the night; that makes day 1 about 8 miles long. King Mountain looks like it should have plenty of trees to hang from. Then hike out the 4 miles back to Jumping Off Rock TH the next day.
Thoughts?
