A group of Western North Carolina mountain biking enthusiasts has unveiled plans to bring the highest-elevation mountain bike trail on the East Coast to Jackson County, and after receiving a thumbs up from leaders in Cherokee and Sylva last month they’ll start seeking grants to make it a reality.
“Sylva is so set up for this, where it’s a destination,” said Sylva Commissioner Ben Guiney during a Feb. 25 meeting. “People go out and they ride, then they go to any of our local restaurants and our breweries.”

The first trails at Canton’s Chestnut Mountain Park will be ready to ride before the leaves drop this fall thanks to an overwhelmingly successful fundraising effort from Asheville YouTuber Seth Alvo.
Alvo, whose biking-focused YouTube channel Berm Peak has more than 2 million subscribers, had the idea in mind before Canton even announced its intention to open a 448-acre natural park in Haywood County. Having traveled all over the country to ride trails and film his adventures, Alvo wanted to bring something he saw as a norm in other areas of the United States back home to Asheville, where he has lived since early 2017.
