My boyfriend and I are camping on Grandfather Mountain this weekend, and we were planning to start our hike at the Boone Fork parking area, GPS: 36.120076, -81.781358, but now we have to park at the Asutsi parking area, GPS: 36.11639, -81.777320, because Boone Fork is closed. Has anyone started at Asutsi and gone to Boone Fork? We have to go to Boone Fork to fill out our check-in slips and start the hike to the campsite. On a map, they look close, but in Google Maps it looks like you have to hike a good distance around on trails instead of just shooting across.
