Young’s mountain hike
Details
The trailhead is accessed through a private gated community. You need to reserve a parking spot with conserving Carolina to get the gate code beforehand. To make a reservation visit conservingcarolina.org/youngs-mountain/
There is no charge for the permit and is valid dawn - dusk that day
It’s a 4.5 mile out and back with only 1,100 elevation gain and estimated 2-3 hours.
It is pretty steep, it’s about 2.25 miles to the top and 1,100 elevation gain, so plan accordingly.
We will meet at 9am at 1076 Buffalo Creek Rd - 1076 Buffalo Creek Rd, Lake Lure, NC 28746
Please dm me if you’d like to carpool.
For those that would like more of a challenge, you can bring a weighted pack. That’s what I am planning on doing as it’s a shorter, yet steep, hike.
