Why does nobody talk about the erosion on the Blue Ridge section?
I was up there last weekend and it's way worse than maps show. Looking for safer alternatives if you've been recently.

Your mileage may vary, but the river path worked for me on Blue Ridge last fall.

My buddy Mark tried that same river path around Blue Ridge in October. He said the trail was way muddier than expected after some early rain. Ended up slipping near a bend and soaking his boots, which kinda ruined the hike for him. Mark's usually pretty good with trails, but he figured the conditions just didn't match up that day. It goes to show how one person's great route can be another's messy adventure. He still talks about how he should've checked the weather report first.
