About People of these Mountains: Guided Hikes near Mt Pisgah and Buck Spring (Buck Spring Gap Overlook-MP 407.6)
People have lived in these mountains for millennia. This guided hike explores changes that each group of people brought when they came to these mountains. Imagine what those who preceded us found and their goals as we celebrate the actions that preserved these lands for all of us.
The hikes in the area range from moderate to moderately strenuous, and all have rocky terrain. Expect the trail to be slick, especially if there has been dense fog or rain recently.
You must wear closed-toed shoes appropriate for a trail walk. Please bring water and rain gear in case of a turn in the weather. If there is light rain, the hike will continue if everyone is sufficiently prepared. In the event of thunder or other dangerous conditions, the hike will be canceled.
From the National Park Service.
Good to know: This 90-minute hike starts at 10:45AM.
