Pisgah National Forest is an outdoor mecca, and the Art Loeb reigns as its single greatest hiking trail. Although best savored as a threeday trip, the Art Loeb Trail can be completed as a really long day hike.
A hiker attempts something he hasn't done in twentytwo years: thruhike the entire 32milelong trail in a single day. After a really long day on the trail, he realizes that it's actually better the second time around.
With the stunning backdrop of Shining Rock Wilderness (within Pisgah National Forest), this autumnal journey is one of endurance and reflection, as an avid hiker recognizes the changes around him and the more profound changes within.
