    Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock Wilderness is a remote gem straddling western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. Famous for its old-growth forests, including the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, it’s home to towering trees over 400 years old and diverse hardwoods like poplar, hemlock, and oak. Hike through lush coves, listen to the creeks, and soak in the solitude.
