Easy Peasy MST

Signup begins Sunday at 5 of the clock.

We'll start at the parking lot at Fresh Market, Hendersonville Rd., take the spur trail, which is a little tricky, to MST, and head west to the bridge at Dingle Creek, which is our turn around. The trail has been immaculately restored after Helene. Also, sections that were heavily forested with a dense upper canopy are now amazingly opened to the sky.

This is not a difficult hike. It's a smooth trail with little but gradual elevation. We'll hike at a slow pace, between 2.0 and 2.5 mph. Out and back is about 5.5 miles. Expect to spend 2.5 to 3.0 hours hiking on the trail.

Park near Hendersonville Rd., away from Haywood Appliance.
