Whether you are looking for an all-day adventure or just a few hours, both are doable at Black Balsam. The drive from Asheville proper can take about 45 minutes to an hour, but don’t let that hinder you. To reach Black Balsam from Asheville is a beautiful drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I find myself enjoying the drive more and more even after several times heading out for this hike. If you’re heading up during the spring, you can enjoy several wildflowers and fresh blooms along the way.
