Posting just to keep advised on the thread.
Note Lee's post #47 on this thread with pics, and do a search on this site for "Tellico" to read about past adventures there in years past. Don't kid yourself: you probably won't get out without at least a little bit of body damage, but the good news is that you can come prepared for the most serious rockcrawling fun you can get out here in the eastern US. There's trails for everyone but bone stockers: there's no trail there at all that I would categorize as "easy". However I've always wanted to take some stockers on the ride of their life up trail 6 and down trail 4 which IMO would be one of the premier rockcrawling adventures that any stock/or near-stock/ 4x4 Explorer could take on this entire continent.
I've fourwheeled something like fifteen states now in my Explorer and can confidently say that if you live out here east and can't travel umpteen miles across the continent to experience Moab or Colorado trails, then Tellico is as good as it gets out here.
Just food for thought for everyone on this thread talking about when to schedule.... Tellico is in the middle of some drop-dead gorgeous Carolina mountain scenery. If you're wanting to come in the last half of the year I'd strongly suggest thinking about hitting it somewhere around the middle of October and hoping to catch the full color of the fall leaf explosion that God shows off about that time of year, it will catch you speechless with its beauty. I've often wondered about a yearly Explorerforum Fall Colors Run that could be held at Tellico like we did for a few years in Colorado, but it never happened. I think it would be a fantastic idea.
I've got dozens of favorite Tellico photos but I'll close this post by attaching one made when there's no one on the trail but our one group and it's negative three degrees on the thermometer.
