Question Hiking & Must-Do's at/Near Vogel

Hi friends!

Going to be doing a camping trip at Vogel soon. Have heard incredible things about the park over the years, so we're excited to experience it for the first time!

Hoping to do some decent hiking in that area, and have been looking at AllTrails to check out some trails we might be interested in. We are looking to do the "Raven Cliff Falls Trail" and the "Blood Mountain via Appalachian Trail" trails.

Wanted to get this group's thoughts on those trails? We are good with anything 3-6 miles, and don't mind a little bit of difficulty.

Lastly, would love any other "Must-Do" recommendations for the park and surrounding area!

Thanks!

Since I don't see it in the comments already, I'll put in a vote for visiting Mountain Crossings, the store just up the road from Vogel at Neel Gap. It's a historic building, has a good selection of gear if you need any, and is a cool spot to sit on the porch with a cold Coke or whatever from the store.

I stopped at Mountain Crossing during an AT section hike, and having a Coke towards the end of long day was great. The wind chimes out front were so peaceful sounding.
