Bartram Trail Hike

Beautiful hike in the Nantahala River Valley.  Lots of mountain flowers in bloom.

The first 2.5 miles of the hike was along the Natahala River, as was the last mile. The last portion of the river was flooded with extra water for kayakers and rafters. Duke Power supplied the extra water from their dam.

The middle part of the hike was in the highlands of the Nantahala River valley.

Great weather but, we did catch a litle rain on this hike.

This hike will be a one way south to north hike on the Bartram Trail.  So, we will need to shuttle.

This hike will cross several streams, and some may leave us with wet feet. There will be very little level ground on this trek, but it will follow a gravel road for about 1.7 miles.

Near the end of the hike we will follow the Nantahala River for about 1.2 miles.

Plan on spending about 7 hours on the trail.
