Join the Hemlock Restoration Initiative Hike at Linville Gorge

34 Comments
Join the Hemlock Restoration Initiative for an educational hike at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, June 29 at one of the most iconic areas in Western North Carolina: Linville Gorge. The Linville Gorge Wilderness Area is known far and wide for its steep walls that fall more than 2,000 feet downward to the Linville River. HRI has been lucky enough to work in this beautiful area and we’d like to share that piece of the Gorge with you.

Our 5.5 mile hike will lead to a stand of hemlocks previously treated by HRI that border the Linville River. Along the way, there are several spots that allow for access to the river as it winds its way toward Lake James. This is a great chance to check out Linville Gorge via trails that are less strenuous than most that climb and descend through the wilderness area — our planned route features less than 700 feet of elevation gain — and you’ll get to see many beautiful hemlocks along the way

Sign up by June 27. Email education@savehemlocksnc.org or call 828-252-4783 to register. See more info about this and other upcoming events on our website: https://savehemlocksnc.org/events

We hope to see you on the trail!
