I love it when I learn about a "new" Carolina destination. While playing with Google Earth the other night, I found a photo of Hibriten Mountain in Lenoir, NC. Total news to me, so I did a search and learned Hibriten is located in the Brushy Mountain Range, a tendril of the Blue Ridge Mountain.
Fantastic! But do they have trails? According to Mountainzone.com, several trails are nearby, including the Lovers Leap Loop Trail, and the AT. Oh my.
It appears trails are either for mountain bikers or hikers (no indication they're shared), are within four miles of the Brushy Mountain Summit, and range from 1.6 to 13.6 miles (Paint Rock Mountain Biking Trail). For more information, check out the following link:

And for more information on Hibriten Mountain, go to: www.mountainzone.com/mountains/detail.asp?fid=6300356
Because that's about all I can find on it.
I guess we'll just have to check it out ourselves.
