(Day Trip) Volunteer Project/Waterfalls/Fire Tower: Blue Ridge Parkway
Details
Join me in this one-day adventure and volunteer effort which starts with helping Waterfall Keepers of North Carolina with its Adopt-A-Highway cleanup effort near Asheville. It's an early start but it'll be worth it!
The rewards for this 1-2hr effort? Helping keep the areas near waterfalls clean PLUS the chance to explore some great waterfalls near and along the Blue Ridge Parkway close to Graveyard Fields, including Second Falls, Sunburst Falls and Skinny Dip Falls. In addition, we'll take a walk up Frying Pan Mountain Fire Tower to see incredible views from the top then finish our trip with the views from Pisgah Inn! These are all can't miss places and waterfalls to visit.
We'll meet in Chapel Hill at 5:30AM (A second driver may be needed if more that 4 people sign up. We'll then drive to near Sunburst Falls south of Canton to meet with Waterfall Keepers of NC group around 10AM. Once we're done with our 1-mile stretch, we'll breakaway and explore the different waterfalls, BRP and Frying Pan Mountain Fire Tower.
Bring: Clothing layers, daypack for the short hikes, Garden or utility type gloves if you have a pair (if not, WKNC can provide gloves to you. Good footwear. We'll stop for food during this trip.
IMPORTANT: RSVP's close at 3PM on Friday so I can let Kevin Adams know how many people will be on my team helping.
