Saturday, August 11, and Sunday, August 12, 11am to 1pm
Up and down a bit of slope, between a few boulders and shrubs and weaving beneath tall trees, hikers will be led into a hidden cove where the state’s largest basswood tree lives. Several other large trees are its neighbors, and wildflowers carpet the forest floor. This is a 2-hour+ moderately-strenuous hike.
Must register in advance. Call (828) 625-9611 or register online. Payment required at registration.
Admission: $19/Adults, $3/Annual Passholders, $10/Child (ages 6-12), $2/Grady’s Kids Club Members (includes Park admission for the day)
