Hike the Smokies!

Participate in a picturesque hike to Andrews Bald on Saturday, October 17th. Naturalist Liz Domingue will escort you on this 4-mile round-trip adventure. The trail is steep and rocky, going downhill to the Bald and uphill coming back. Experience the aroma of Christmas as you brush past stands of spruces and firs. On arrival at the Bald you should experience a bird's eye view of Fontana Lake and a breathtaking panorama of the surrounding mountains in all their Fall splendor.
Pack a light lunch, water, rain gear, and above all, good hiking boots. A hiking stick wouldn't be a bad idea either. This hike is limited to 15 people, so please sign up early to assure your spot. The charge is $15 per person. There is no rain date for this hike, it will take place rain or shine. Meet at 8:45 am in the Clingman's Dome Parking Lot. For reservations call 865-436-7318, extension 254. Come and enjoy the Smokies in the Fall!
