What we’re about
This group is for people that like to have fun and adventure in the great outdoors; hiking in the foothills and mountains, camping, funyaking on the French Broad, whitewater rafting on the Nolichucky, biking the Virginia Creeper, outdoor live music, backpacking, spelunking and more. The hikes I lead will be rated either "Moderate", "Difficult" or "Strenuous" and most are what I would call aerobic hiking, but with lots of short stops to appreciate what Mother Nature has to show us! I'm open to others leading easier hikes and making suggestions. An example of "Moderate" would be the Lake Norman State Park "Lake Shore Trail" with one rest/food stop in the middle and some short water breaks etc. I've had several Red Cross first aid courses over the years, including the outdoor trauma course. JOIN US FOR SOME FUN!
If you have an idea then post it or send me a message!

"CELL SERVICE IS TERRIBLE AROUND THE PARK, EVEN FOR TEXTING!" IF YOU'VE NEVER BEEN HERE YOU SHOULD MEET AT THE SPEEDWAY AND CARAVAN FROM THERE!
This is one of my favorites that just recently reopened because of Helene, a easy side of difficult 5.2 mile loop, There will be an option to climb Hebron Falls and we'll do some bouldering along the creek with it's hundreds of water falls; it's gonna be an awesome day!
I'll be coming from Banner Elk, make a comment if you're interested in carpooling.
Bring water and a trail lunch or snack.
Blowing Rock Ale House

https://blowingrockbrewing.com/blowing-rock-ale-house-restaurant/I suggest meeting before 10:15 AM at the Speedway on Hwy 321 in Blowing Rock, 7206 Valley Blvd, then all drive to the "Picnic Area" at the park. (Arrive early to use the bathrooms at the Speedway) Then caravan South on the Blueridge Parkway to the Julian Price Park Picnic Area.
WHO'S INTERESTED IN MEETING AT THE SPEEDWAY?
Say so in comments.For those going strait to the park we'll meet at the bathrooms in the picnic area nearest to the Parkway on the right before 10:30 AM.
