Leisure Hike with Caroll Koepplinger

2.6 miles, 300' elevation gain.

Long-time CMC hiker Carroll Koepplinger will lead this week's CMC Leisure Hike through Bent Creek on well-maintained trails with little elevation gain. Please RSVP here on the Meetup page, but consider also emailing Carroll directly since he's not on Meetup (cakoep29@gmail.com) so he'll know to keep an eye out for you (and get in touch with you if the weather forces him to cancel).

Meeting location is at the Tanger Outlets parking lot behind Waffle House off Exit 33 of I-26 at 10:30. From there, it's about a 10-minute carpool to the trailhead.

CMC Meetup is sponsored by, but is separate from, the Carolina Mountain Club (CMC). You do not have to be a member of CMC to sign up for this hike, but if you are not a member you should think about joining. It’s a terrific all-volunteer organization that not only sponsors lots of hikes but engages in a significant amount of trail maintenance throughout Western North Carolina. Just follow the prompts from this link https://carolinamtnclub.org/enrollments/ or explore our webpage at https://www.carolinamountainclub.org/

If you sign up for the hike and then find that your plans have changed, please take the time to remove yourself from the hike to open a space for someone else (and so that we don’t unnecessarily wait for you at the meeting place).
