So, it's not a skiing TR, just a trip to Cataloochee Ranch a few weeks ago. After hiking up to Hemphill Bald, I really wanted to ride their horses up there. They have great horses and they're not "deadheads". They will keep you on your toes and hopefully, off your butt! I like that!
At the top of the bald...

Nice. How long was the ride? My daughter wants to do that.

2slikstix, 3-3 1/2 hour ride. Is your daughter already riding? The horses we rode were a bit skittish because there was some logging going on at that time along the trail, but I think they have quieter, more calm mounts. We registered as advanced riders, but I saw some small children on quiet horses.

Go back now and you could ride horses and snow on the same day!

I'm guessing that's around the early part of the 2nd week of October,correct?

Just a hunch,but it seems there is spotty color around that elevation and part of NC in early October!
