The Best Trail in North Carolina

I'm going to go out on a limb here and pretend that more than one North Carolina trail runner accidentally reads this blog on occasion. So, I want to pose the following question:

What is the best trail you've run in North Carolina?


Guidelines (Because you'll wonder)

trail head at Falls Lake Trail section 4Please respond in the comment area below this post. Provide as much validation for your response as you like.

No, there is not a prize—unless you count my appreciation as a reward.

Yes, you may respond with the name of a park or a race instead of a specific trail.

Obviously, this is a purely subjective thing to consider. Your answer will be neither right nor wrong. (Okay, it's wrong if you answer with the name of a paved road. Trails are unpaved in this case)

You don't even have to run on trails very often. But, you can't hate trails. I don't want you to play if you're a hater.

Know, too, that you do not necessarily need to respond with the name of your favorite trail or park. A favorite thing implies that you partake of it frequently. However, your best trail run may have occurred once or twice in the past. And, due to geographic limitations, you aren't able to run the best trail as often as you'd like.

My motivation for asking this question is to simply find out where a trail runner will be happy in North Carolina. With all the trail races to choose from over the coming months and vacations to be planned, a discerning runner needs to know.

Thanks in advance for your response!
