NC High Peaks will lead a hike along the scenic Tanawha Trail on Friday, May 9th. The moderately strenuous 7.7 mile hike will start at Stack Rock and end at the Boone Fork parking area, taking 4-5 hours to complete. Along the way hikers will see a waterfall, Rough Ridge, Ravens Rock and cross under the Linn Cove Viaduct.
The trail has areas of roots, rocks with some small scrambles as well as a few water crossings so good hiking boots and perhaps poles are recommended. Bring snacks, lunch and plenty of water.
Round trip transportation will be provided by Yancey County Transportation for a $5 donation. Hikers will meet in the Roses parking lot in Burnsville at 8:30 am for the 1 hour ride…
