I am looking for a 70ish mile backpacking trip. I'd prefer a loop, but would do a point to point with a safe, reliable shuttle. I want serious solitude, plentiful water, and beautiful scenery. We have done Big South Fork, Foothills, Linville Gorge, Shenandoah, Mt Rogers, Cranberry Wilderness, and Quehanna. We fell in love with the scenery around Big South Fork, and want to see more like that but the Red River Gorge is entirely to overpopulated for us. We are open to any and all ideas. Sheltowee Trace? Pisgah National Forest? Part of the Mountains to Sea Trail? Dolly Sods.....I don't think we can get anywhere near our milage. Somewhere in the Smokies, away from people? Many Thanks. Ideas are very much appriciated.
