Life in Asheville: Mountains to Sea Trail Run

Mountains-to-Sea Trail, Blue Ridge Parkway, Asheville, trail run, French Broad River

The Mountains-to-Sea hiking trail runs from Clingmans Dome in Tennessee/North Carolina to the Outer Banks. Not yet completed, it is 530 miles long AND runs right past my neighborhood. For my run today, I ran a little portion of it along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
