Hiking & Mountain Biking DuPont State Forest

Excellent source.

Nice guidebook. I found it in a store in Asheville. I've been going to DuPont for a decade and the author has a lot of hikes that I've never thought of. DuPont can be confusing. I really like that the hikes are arranged in order of difficulty from easiest to hardest. I just got back from his Outer Limits hike and it was a new part of the forest for me...very quiet hike. The hardest hike the author calls the 631 DuPont Challenge, meaning you hike to 6 waterfalls, 3 lakes all in 1 day. Pretty creative! It's definitely on my list to do. I will try the mountain bike routes soon and report back.As if DuPont needs anymore visitors (it's often very crowded on the weekends), then this book comes along which will probably increase its popularity even more! My advice is to go during the week, or stay away from the waterfall trailheads and parking areas. Worth the price for finding some new interesting routes and hikes. I have the author's Foothills Trail book and he knows how to write this pocket style guide. Highly recommended.
