The SOLO Southeast flagship hosts individuals and groups across the country at the NOC’s 500 acre river resort outside of Bryson City, North Carolina. With access to the Nantahala River and the Appalachian Trail, as well as beautiful Nantahala National Forest, students get real-world, hands-on experience in the wilderness to build their skills and knowledge. Students in multi-day courses have access to onsite lodging, restaurants, and more from this spectacular location. As a leader in the Southeast, SOLO also conducts courses across Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina and is expanding our footprint on a regular basis.
