But that's just part of the unknown variables that cullowhee has to offer that makes the place so awesome. You gotta be ready for anything.

I've never been, but have been told on here it's just riding old forest roads. If you have a stock 4wd I think you're ok. It's mainly about the scenery and isolation.

pretty much the case for most of Cullowhee......... it is def. the remoteness that is the alure of this ride and the spectacular scenery. If you got a landcruiser you can do this ride! So come out and join us!!!
