Briefly about the general area:
There's perfect hiking along the Black Mountain Trail; Triple Falls is always fun to check out. That right there is a load of exciting stuff already but it goes on, the Blue Ridge Mountains has it all. At Little River you always meet someone from Pisgah Forest; a short journey to High Falls is always worthwhile. This is such a fun river. Places like Jones Gap State Park are great to stop at; The Nooks is an attention-grabbing thing to make out since you're here.
