Join NC High Peaks for a fun day at Mt. Mitchell State Park on Saturday August 17. We will begin with a stroll around the Balsam Nature Trail, a 3/4 mile trail with interpretive signs. While relatively easy the trail is uneven with tripping hazards so hikers may want to use hiking poles. The trail will take us to the summit of Mount Mitchell for 360-degree views. After the hike we will have lunch at the newly reopened Mt. Mitchell Restaurant.
Meet at the lower Mt. Mitchell summit parking lot near the Balsam Nature Trail Gate at 9:30 am. Contact hike leader Diane Schramm at emilydianehoover@gmail.com or call (904) 349-0479 for more information and to reserve a spot. As always check the High Peaks website or Facebook page for possible cancellation due to weather.
