Summer in Panthertown Valley | Backcountry Loop in Nantahala

Granite rock domes and cascading waterfalls are just a few of the spectacular features that make Panthertown Valley worth visiting. Opportunities for backcountry adventure abound here! In my opinion, this little corner of Nantahala is a hidden gem in the truest sense.

For more stories from this trip and resources for planning your own visit, see the trail journal on my blog: https://jessicasojourning.com/post/panthertown-loop
