One Hundred Ultimate Outdoor Activities - Blue Ridge Outdoors
Blue Ridge Outdoors has released their annual Ultimate 100 List. This list includes 100 awesome things to do outdoors in the Southern Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and beyond.
This year, the staff is challenging readers to complete as many as possible, documenting on social media with the hashtag #BROultimate100. To help, they have even included a handy spreadsheet with added bonus challenges, helpful websites and other information.
Local Western North Carolina Activities include:
4. CANOE AND CAMP along the entire length of the French Broad River Trail. If you’re feeling ambitious (and have three months to spare), take the river all the way to the Mississippi and down to the Gulf of Mexico.
17. LOOP IT UP on the Bartram Trail for a weekend of challenging terrain, stellar views, and remote hiking. Thru-hike all 100 miles for the ultimate experience.
52-56. GO BOATING. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to step up your game, Dagger paddler Chris Gragtmans has five things every river rat should try.
67. RE-LIVE DELIVERANCE, without the squealing like a pig. Paddle or raft the class III and IV sections of the Chattooga River, one of the largest free-flowing rivers in the Southeast and the setting for the 1972 thriller Deliverance. –Jill Moore, Asheville, N.C.
Check out the entire list over at Blue Ridge Outdoors, and pick up a copy of their magazine if you see one at your favorite gear store.
