Pink Beds Loop + Detour 8-9 miles easy/moderate

RSVPs open Thursday at 7:00 PM

This is hike Carrie did a few weeks ago. I haven't hiked Pink Beds for a while and want to do the Gauging Station trail.

We'll go about halfway on the 5-mile loop, then cut over via the Gauging Station trail to Wolf Ford campground and walk along the South Mills River to a bridge. A beautiful spot. Then we'll go back and finish the Pink Beds Loop.

Pace will be brisk as is an easy/moderate trail.

Leashed, well-behaved dogs welcome.

Let's meet at the Bi Lo at the intersection of 280/64/276 at 9:30 and arrange carpools. We will leave by 9:45. This is a good spot for people who live south of Asheville.

If Asheville folks would like to meet somewhere and carpool, and/or come in via the parkway and come DOWN 276 to the Pink Beds, meet us at the Pink Beds Parking lot between 10:00-10:15. That could save some driving for you. Please feel free to coordinate that by messaging on this page. If not, no worries, I'll see you at the Bi Lo.

My cell is 828-450-2693. I will be parked at the side closest to Pizza Hut and 276.

Thanks!
