Me and Scott on Terrapin Mountain with a view of Whiteside Mountain behind us!
Terrapin Mountain is located on public property within boundaries of the Nantahala National Forest. However, there are no official trails and surrounding private proptery make it difficult to access. Staying entirely on public land involves a very long and arduous journey!
Fortunately, my buddy Scott (aka The Professor) was able to obtain permission to park on private property making access to Terrapin Mountain much easier.
But first a few stops along the way!

Since Scott has never been to Coyote Falls, we decided to head there after our Terrapin Mountain hike.
