Mt. Sterling via Baxter Creek Trail

## Details

Join us for an up and back down hike on Baxter Creek Trail. Approximately 12 miles and 4100’ elevation gain and is a full day of strenuous hiking. The hike will be interesting because the forest changes with beautiful views of ferns, rock formations covered in elegant moss, fall leaf colors and a 360 degree incredible view at the top. The Mt. Sterling fire tower is the highest above sea level elevation fire tower that remains in the eastern United States.
