This is an absolutely gorgeous backpacking trip. 20 miles packed with plenty of breathtaking views such as McAfee's Knob, Tinker Cliffs, Hay Rock, and Carvin's Cove. It is possible to make this hike in one day, actually it is called the Catawba Challenge if you are so up for it. For this trip, though, I went with some buddies and we made it into a 3 day - 2 night backpacking trip.
