Hike of the Week: Flat Laurel Creek

Flat Laurel Creek begins in a high elevation valley surrounded by high peaks, grassy balds, and the dark spruce-fir forests of the southern Appalachians. Come enjoy the beautiful scenery and learn about this truly unique ecosystem.
Meet at the parking area at the end of the Black Balsam Road (FR 816), a paved road off the Parkway just south of Milepost 420.
Bring water, wear good walking shoes (ones that you don’t mind getting wet and muddy), and be prepared for changeable weather.

Hike of the Week: Nature’s Road Trip
Many of us dream of going somewhere warm for the winter and some animals get to do exactly that with migration. But who gets to migrate and what compels them to travel hundreds or thousands of miles from home? Are the animals having beach parties without us? To learn the answers to these questions and more, join us for a moderate hike, approximately 2.2 miles round-trip.
Meet at Big Ridge Overlook, Milepost 403.6. Wear good hiking shoes, bring water, and be prepared for changeable weather.
Call (828) 298-5330, extension 304 for more information.

2023 Tunnel to Towers 5K Run/Walk – ASHEVILLE
Among the promises made by Americans after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, was to pay homage to those who perished, and to never allow the heroism and resilience displayed by Americans in the aftermath to be forgotten.
The Tunnel to Towers Run & Walk Series was created to honor the heroic life and death of Stephen Siller, a New York City firefighter (FDNY) who lost his life on September 11, 2001 after strapping on his gear and running through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers. #avl#yellowtruck Asheville Fire Department #T2TRun
It starts between Pack’s Tavern & the Asheville Fire Department at 8:46 am!
