DIRECTIONS TO BIG BALD

Exit Interstate 26 at the Wolf Laurel Exit ~25 miles north of Asheville, NC, or ~30 miles south of Johnson City, TN.

Follow the signs to Wolf Laurel. Stop at the gate and tell them "you are helping with the bird project on Big Bald".

Follow the main pavement road uphill to a 'T'.

Turn left at 'T' on Big Bald road, and follow for ~3 miles uphill (will turn to gravel) to a big metal gate.

Park and walk up the road ~ 1/4 mile to gap where the Appalachian Trail crosses the road at a strong left bend.

Follow white markers on fence posts along trail to the north (to the right), up the smaller bald for ~ 1/2 mile.

Look for nets near large boulders along trail near the summit of the smaller bald at the edge of the trees.
