The Right Track: A History of Trails in Southern Appalachia: Guided Hikes near Mt Pisgah and Buck Spring (Buck Spring Gap Overlook-MP 407.6)
All levels of experience are welcome on this relaxed, ranger-led hike on the trails. Join us to learn about the history and philosophy behind trail-building in the Southern Appalachian Mountains and meet some of the fine folks throughout history who made it possible.
The hikes in the area range from moderate to moderately strenuous, and all have rocky terrain. Expect the trail to be slick, especially if there has been dense fog or rain recently.
You must wear closed-toed shoes appropriate for a trail walk. Please bring water and rain gear in case of a turn in the weather. If there is light rain, the hike will continue if everyone is sufficiently prepared. In the event of thunder or other dangerous conditions, the hike will be canceled.
Fees
The program is free with no tickets or reservations required.
Location
Meet at the Buck Spring Overlook, at Milepost 407.6. It’s the first overlook after you turn off the main Parkway, heading in the direction of the Mt Pisgah Parking Area.
