It has a rich, dramatic history in a stylish mountain range, overlooks a towering building and trendy vacation destination, and it's overrun with people. It's more fun to go there. This national forest is located within a day's drive of much of the east coast, but remains secluded and quiet, with ample opportunities for the visitor to escape crowds.
Country roads are often gravel and encourage slow driving.
Restaurants, motels and other services are found in the many scattered small communities throughout the forest.
