@bricycles with @pinkbike Local Flavours takes us down Black Mountain through Pisgah Forest, NC ⁣
⁣
“Following my friend @sand_dogg was a hoot! Pisgah has some of the East coast’s biggest descents, and this is certainly one of them. I’d ridden this trail previously, but not since a ton of work had been put in it in order to remedy the multitude of drainage issues that had accrued over the years. Though still multidirectional, Black is a massive 7 mile descent with a bevy of features including a tombstone step down, several hits of varying sizes, and a 30+ foot gap as you near the bottom. This trip was one where I could have filmed a POV on every single trail as they are all a lot of fun and really beautiful (Farlow Gap is my new favorite down there). Pisgah National Forest is currently under siege with tourists eager to explore, and consequently many trails are closed for the time being. So please keep the stoke burning, but just be patient with the rest of us. These rad trails will be there waiting.” - @bricycles ⁣

Aaaaand we’re back with another Waterfall Wednesday! 💦 ⁣
⁣
350 waterfalls flow through North Carolina; 250 of them in Transylvania County alone. You can imagine why we’re called The Land of Waterfalls! Pictured here is Rainbow Falls, given its name for the constant mist during warm weather that sends rainbows cascading towards the sun.⁣
⁣
Tell us if you’ve visited Rainbow Falls in the past, and share those memories of your visit in the comments below. We hope everyone is staying safe, staying healthy, and staying home. The waterfalls in Transylvania County aren’t going anywhere! ⁣

Reposted from @dupontforest Dupont State Recreatio

Reposted from @dupontforest Dupont State Recreational Forest is temporarily closed effective March 24, 2020.⁠
⁠
Like many other public lands in Western North Carolina, DuPont Forest got hammered with visitors over the weekend. There were too many people unwilling to follow the social distancing guidelines, putting the health of our community at risk. ⁠
⁠
We want to stress that the NC Forest Service did not take this decision lightly. They explored every option to keep the Forest accessible. They know how much we rely on our public lands and understand how important getting outside in the woods can help in a time of crisis. Given the crowds (and lack of social distancing) the risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus in our community was just too high. We applaud them for taking the necessary steps to protect the community, staff, and first responders. ⁠
⁠
Friends of DuPont Forest has spent the last 20 years encouraging everyone to get outside and explore DuPont Forest and other public lands. Right now we encourage everyone to stay home, explore your backyard, and stay safe. ⁠
⁠
Please see the press release on our website for more details. We’ll keep you updated, and when this is all over, we can’t wait to welcome you back! ⁠
