Far too much to write, check out: http://www.mtbikewnc.com/bestrides/brtsali.html for details! Night rides are permitted at Tsali, but I won’t be riding at night. Camping link: http://www.turkey-creek.com/ The camp site has a shower and toilet facilities. I have equipment you may use but you are responsible for your own food.

Take US 441 North to US 74 at Dillsboro, NC
Take US 74 West (LEFT) past Bryson City to NC Hwy 28 North.

Turkey Creek Campground is located on the right, adjacent to the Post Office in Almond, NC. Tsali is 5 minutes away.

Notes:

Is this a rain or shine event? YES! Tsali drains rather well. If no riding, I’ll probably hike as the area has many trails.
