Well, with Standing Indian Campground being opened, I could do a nice loop in that area. I just don't have a map. May see if my friend got one.

Edit: Thanks a lot Wandering Daisy. You need a permit here, but the permit are kiosk stand. So I can imagine they're still available...My friend and I are discussing it and since campground open, surely the kiosk stand still has paperwork for permits? In Linville Gorge in the Pisgah, you need a permit from visitor center from April-October, the rest of year you do not need a permit. I've backpacked there in November and no permits were required.
