Abstract:

"Western North Carolina's many hiking trails and campsites offer a serene respite from urban life. But for a more daring adventure along the trails less traveled, consider staking out in our wild frontier." One of the earliest persons associated with Backcountry camping in western N.C. was Horace Kephart (1862-1931).
