at: SweetwaterCreekHike - Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest & hikes along the Cherohala SkyWayJoyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, Robinsville, NC
**Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest ** is one of the Nation’s most impressive remnants of old-growth forest, with magnificent examples of more than 100 tree species, many over 400-years-old, and some more than 20 feet in circumference and 100 feet tall. For those arriving June 6th, we will (nature willing) go into the forest in the evening to see the synchronized fireflies.
The Cherohala Skyway was completed in 1996 after planning and construction for thirty-four years. It winds up and over 5,400 foot mountains for 18 miles in North Carolina and descends another 23 miles into the deeply forested back country of Tennessee. We will stop to view some highway overlooks and hike Hooper Bald through rare azaleas 1.3 miles round trip to the 5,290 peak and have lunch. If it is open, we will then travel to view thundering Bald River Falls. Afterwards hike Huckleberry Knob only 2.5 mile round trip hike but it is the highest peak in the area at 5,560 feet.
