HIKING IN THE GREAT SMOKIES
June 22-28, 2008
$480
Dick Lightcap, Trip Leader

TRIP NOW FULL - CONTACT TRIP LEADER TO BE PUT ON A WAITING LIST.

We will be day hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which is the largest national park in the east and the most popular in the nation, as well as Pisgah National Forest and the Nantahala National Forest. Destinations include three mountain peaks that are not too strenuous, museums, scenic views and several waterfalls. I have tried to select the best and most typical venues as a sampling of this region.


You must be in good physical condition and be able to hike at least ten miles a day comfortably over varied terrain and do some moderate climbing.

We will be staying at a hostel in Asheville, North Carolina, where everyone will prepare his/her own meals. There is a store nearby to purchase our food. I will be driving a leased mini-van for our daily excursions.
