NC Sierra Club Foothills Group

Join us on a slow contemplative hike along the Pilot Mountain State Park's Ivy Bluffs Trail. Our founder John Muir disliked the term “hike” and we will take time to enjoy the trail and let the river and forest speak to us. This is a part of the Yadkin River section of the park that is seldom seen by visitors. The trail will be a total of 2 miles with less than 200 feet elevation gain. It is rated moderate and will have a stream crossing with stone steps. You will need hiking footwear, rain gear, water and snacks.
We will meet at the Ivy Bluffs Access Area parking.
Participants will need to sign the Sierra Club waiver.
Participants are invited to join us for lunch in East Bend after the hike.

Join us for our community service event on Conrad Road in Lewisville as we prepare it for the fall color season, picking up trash, recyclables, and other "interesting" things. It's rewarding to see a clean road at the completion of our task, and great fun to talk to others while we work. Safety vests, gloves, trash bags, and pick-up sticks will be provided. Wear layers and footwear to keep your feet dry. The pickup takes about 3 hours.
