Go Hike NC - One Hike Left - August 26

Following a series of hikes this spring, Buncombe County Recreation Services has added additional community hikes this summer across Buncombe County.  These hikes will showcase some of our local parks hiking trails as well as some better known trails along the Blue Ridge Parkway and Pisgah National Forest. The effort to offer experiences for residents who new to outdoor recreation is part of the Buncombe Outdoors Initiative.

All the hike locations were chosen due to their moderate difficulty so that all persons can get out and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Western North Carolina, and will be led by an experienced guide.

Hikes will take place at Craggy Gardens (Blue Ridge Parkway) and Alexander Park Loop. We’d like to know you are joining us for these hikes.  There are no fees involved, just a quick online form so we know how many people to expect.

Buncombe County Recreation Services hikes are being held in conjunction with Go Hike NC and Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina.  To register for a Hike and to enter a great contest visit www.Gohikenc.com and click on the Find Your Hike link.
