Hike of the Week
Join Parkway rangers at 10:00 am on Friday, June 22nd for a moderate, 1.4 mile round-trip hike on the Craggy Pinnacle Trail. Known for its amazing 360-degree views from the summit, the trail also features many high elevation species including rhododendron, yellow birch trees, and plenty of wildflowers. This summit hike also provides an excellent opportunity to discuss proper hiking etiquette and the conservation issues facing trails that experience high visitor usage.
Meet at the upper level of the Craggy Dome Parking Overlook at Milepost 364.1, just north of the Craggy Gardens Visitor Center. Bring water, wear good walking shoes, and be prepared for changeable weather.
