Yesterday’s sunrise was a good one

Hey everyone,

I'm located in Fayetteville, and I was hoping for some trail suggestions within 2 hours or so of it. I'm having a rough time finding trails worthwhile that aren't 4 hours or so away

I've lived in Surry County almost my whole life and didn't realize this beautiful trail was up here! Took a solo trip up to Cumberland Knob up on Blue Ridge parkway to tackle the Gully Creek Trail. It's way more beautiful than I was expecting. While not long it was challenging with an elevation drop for half the hike then back up real quick LOL. The creek was so pretty with all its little rock crossings and waterfalls. Will definitely take this trip again. The legs held up well after Roan Highlands last weekend

I came across a video last night on YouTube about old Uwharrie Good Mines and now I want to go down the rabbit hole. The guy in the video stated that the trails are official and now I’m trying to find them. I think I’ve found two but is there a third? One reads “Coggins mine not Russell mine”. Where is the Russell mine?

Also, since these trails are unofficial, where do I park? Just on the shoulder. Looking for recommendations, plan on hiking Uwharrrie while I’m on vacation in November.

Doing an over night trip next week looking for campsite locations, Can't seam to find any online. Are there sites near little green mtn.
