Cue and map for Greensboro Amtrak Depot-Hanging Rock

It's about 106 miles total, and is pretty hilly, so it will make a nice two-day adventure. On the other hand, if the train is on time, there's 10-½ hours between Greensboro arrival (9:30am) and departure (7pm), so you can do it as a day trip if you don't want to camp. I think I'll make it a 2-day, and maybe ride fixed…maybe.

!!! VERY SCENIC anytime, and if the leaves turn…

Please RSVP!
