The Art Loeb Trail and the Cold Mountain Spur Trail is my all time favorite hike in the Appalachian Mountains.  Awesome 360 degree views of the Balsam Mountains from Cold Mountain are well worth the efforts.

This was taken on the side of the Blue Ridge Parkway where you turn in to park for the hike to Shining Rock Gap.
