Canton, NC

Graveyard Fields

    This hike is below Asheville on the Blue Ridge Parkway and very popular - even in weather that is not ideal.  I would suggest going as early as you can.  This is about a 4 mile loop trail (although we missed the loop part and just backtracked the same way from Upper Falls).  The hike through the fields is easy with lots of boardwalks, but the hike up to Upper Falls is very rocky and a little challenging.  The hike down to Second/Lower Falls is also easy, except for the steps you have to walk back up, but there aren't many.  During August and Early September, there are wild blueberries and blackberries that can be picked and they are so good!
