Kings Mountain 16 miler (and double it up for 32 miles if you're brave....or a little twisted in the head)
All abilities. This is a very diverse trail with long but steep climbs, water crossings, woods, views, everything.
To get there. It's almost right on the NC/SC border off of I-85, exit 2. So, coming from Charlotte, take 85 to exit 2 and follow the signs. It's at the main welcome center. Look for a new white Ford Ranger with a guy in shorts standing near it (that'd be me).
