Art Loeb Trail -Pisgah Forest 8.8 -stren/moderate

I am changing this hike up a little bit. We will meet at scheduled places but I am moving up 30 min. We will do a shuttle hike, leaving a car at Lowes, Brevard (where will all meet by 10:15) and drive to the fish hatchery and take trails 120/146 back to Lowe's. Should be about the same distance and mostly the same trail but should be less up hill elevation and thus an easier hike. I'm guessing distance may be a little longer so plan for 9 miles or so.

Please meet at Ingles and leave by 9:45 and arrive at Lowe's by 10:15.

2nd meeting place is Lowe's ( go past BiLo on 280/64 and left at next light after crossing Davidson River bridge) in Brevard by 10:15. -

We will start at fish hatchery on Cat Gap trail and pick up the Art Loeb trail back to Lowe's.
