Come and join MERB on the Hanging Rock 5 peak challenge. We will be hitting this 11 mile loop near Danbury, NC at the most beautiful Hanging Rock State Park. We will meet at the visitors center at 9am sharp and start hiking at 9:15am.

This is one of my favorite trails. It's more moderate to our standards but listed as HARD on many of the trail apps. We will make our way to each peak, Hanging Rock, Moore's Knob Firetower, Wolf Rock, House Rock and Cooks wall.

Please be prepared. Depending on the group it should take us about 6 hours with a lunch break; but to be safe we are scheduling 8. We will have food and brews at Green Heron Alehouse after the hike; this part is optional!
