North Carolina Hiking Trails

There are numerous North Carolina hiking trails located in the High Country, which includes six counties in Western NC. Each trail is different whether it leads to a great waterfall or overlook of the mountains. North Carolina hiking trails have something for everyone no matter your level of hiking experience. North Carolina hiking trails are the perfect way to explore the sights of the High Country. Many trails lead to a haven of rolling mountain views that stretch all the way to Tennessee and Virginia.

There are several NC hiking trails close to Boone and Blowing Rock, many of which are found just off the Blue Ridge Parkway.  Some local and visitor favorites are the trails around the Moses H. Cone Julian Price Memorial Park, many of which are also carriage trails.  The Boone Fork Loop Trail is almost 5 miles and is one of the nicest trails to try first if your up for it.  The Tanawha Trail is also a favorite, however it's a bit longer, at about 13 miles. 

Moving up closer to Grandfather Mountain and Linville there are also some famous spots.  The Linville Linn Cove Viaduct Trail, Linville Falls Trail and Linville Gorge trails are all very popular with visitors and offer some exciting sites of the Blue Ride Mountains.   Another popular trail is the Grandfather Profile trail; you can try parts of it, or do the whole thing at once, but that's an undertaking only for experts. Remember, before hiking the Profile Trail you must receive a permit. If you are interested in checking out some of the trails in the area please feel free to browse an extensive list of High Country hiking trails.
