Strawberry Gap
Details
Let's do Strawberry Gap!
Strawberry Gap Trail is a 5.2 mile out-and-back trail near Gerton, NC with approximately 1,200 feet in elevation gain, almost all of it within the first mile. About halfway up you'll reach Ferguson Peak, a rocky outcrop overlooking the valley below with long range mountain views. The trail summits at Blue Ridge Pasture, which offers panoramic views. This is considered a moderate hike, many considered it more than moderate.
The well-marked trailhead & parking lot is located along Hwy 74-A (Charlotte Hwy) north of Gerton.

Those wishing to carpool could meet at the Ingles grocery located at 225 Charlotte Highway. I'll be in the parking lot by 9:30, and leave promptly at 9:45am. I'm driving a red Honda Accord.
If you want to meet us at the trailhead that's fine too.
This hike takes place on private property and the owner does not allow dogs.
