Solo backpacking North Carolina | One night on Black Balsam Knob

Описание: Backpacking in Pigsah National Forest via Black Balsam Knob was a treat! During my trip the weather was perfect (after it cleared up shortly after my arrival) and had a great sunset and sunrise with my best fur companions Poca & Azula.


If you plan on making a similar trip I highly recommend it but be aware if you plan on camping you will have to get there early and claim your spot as the Knob does tend to fill up quickly with tents. If possible there is a certain spot that you can camp at that has the absolute perfect scenic location where you can look to the west and catch a stunning sunset, you turn and look to the East and witness a burning sunrise!

Be sure to keep an eye out on the weather forecast (I cautiously type this because we all know the mountain makes it own weather) as it can change rapidly and also the temperature can vary from 80F-55F in the summer so pack accordingly!

Black Balsam has mostly dispersed camping sites so you will not need a reservation upon arrival which is nice!
