8. Maggie Valley NC to Hot Springs NC
Maggie Valley NC to Hot Springs NC – 75 miles
After gassing up in Maggie Valley, enter Pisgah National Forest and the Cataloochee section of the Cherokee National Forest with twisty and scenic dirt. Watch your GPS for Buzzard’s Roost waypoint as this hidden overlook is easy to miss. The track evolves into two-track riding with muddy sections and two memorable creek crossings (the second creek is deep and swift). Arrive at Max Patch at an elevation of 4,626 feet, and an Appalachian Trail landmark located just off the track before the route drops into the authentic small hiker-oriented community of Hot Springs, NC with camping, lodging and gas.
