Hey hikers! Due to the recent snowstorm, road closures, and overall safety concerns, we’re making a trail change for this weekend. Instead of Deep Gap, we’ll be heading to the stunning Looking Glass Rock Trail. Deep Gap is rescheduled for March 22nd and we will post that soon!

This is a beautiful, woodsy trail that winds through peaceful forest, mossy rocks, and that classic Pisgah enchantment we all love. The steady climb rewards us with a gorgeous panoramic view at the top! Expect fresh mountain air, quiet winter woods, and wide-open views.

After the hike, we’ll drive over to Looking Glass Falls for an easy and rewarding waterfall visit. It’s just a short walk down the stairs to the viewing area, making this a perfect cool-down stop with BIG waterfall energy and misty mountain vibes.

We will wrap up the day with a lunch stop by Corky's Dawg House. Me and Food Lion's favorite Brevard cafe! Address is: 1910 Asheville Hwy, Brevard, NC 28712
