On National Read a Book Day, Let's Walk at Lake Junaluska

September 6 is National Read a Book Day. Right before we step-off, let's share with each other the title of a book we recommend the others read too. If you are able to "show and tell" bring the book with you, so much the better. Don't worry, we'll give you time to put the book back in your car before we step-off on the walk. (I don't want to carry a book on a 7 KM walk with hills!)

Gather at 2:00 at Lake Junaluska inside the Bethea Welcome Center. This will be a 7 KM/4 mile route. The walk does not just go around the lake, but up to Lambuth Inn, along the Rose Walk, and through the Nature Garden. The view from Inspiration Point is a must-see!

Dress for the weather. Consider a hat and sunscreen. Some people may want walking poles, especially for the walk up to Lambuth Inn; tennis shoes should be fine. It is particularly important that walkers bring a protein snack and plenty of water. Restrooms are available at the Welcome Center, at Lambuth Inn, and along the route. Dogs on leash are welcome. Strollers are ok.
