Hi everyone!! Do you want to go camping in the beautiful Asheville NC area?? I know I do. I also know that biking is not for me so…. Hiking!!!

This trip is to coordinate an INT hiking group. We will get several days of hiking in the Pisgah National Forest and Asheville area. I plan on spending one day doing a fairly long hike, but at a chill pace. This will likely be in the 12-15 mile range with maybe 3000-4500’ climbing, below is a link for an example route that could be an option for the long day. Please reach out if you’re not sure about the mileage, you can find my phone number by clicking my profile.

Otherwise, I hope to mix things up a little, because 4 consecutive days of big hikes would be pretty exhausting. This could include one day doing a full trip activity (including bike groups), such as spending time in Asheville. We can also take a day to do something like a shorter hike to a swimming hole or waterfall, and get some swimming in.

Packing list (IN ADDITION TO MAIN TRIP PACKING LIST):
-Backpack for your water and food
-Bathing suit and towel? Could potentially do a little swim hike
