CAMPING/LODGING:
We will be camping on the mountain, if you would like to join us. There is lodging in the area, last year some folks stayed at the Comfort Inn in Sylva Comfort Inn. Their rates are around $69 per night. Someone suggested the Balsam Mountain Inn located between Sylva and Waynesville Balsam Inn info here.
Everyone should bring their own lunch to eat on the trails. Campers will of course need dinner and breakfast.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Happy Rovering!
