SVM Rim Hike #5: Pinnacle of the Blue Ridge

Swannanoa Valley Museum

$45 - $50

Sat, May 17
8:00am - 4:00pm

Join the Swannanoa Valley Museum on the fifth hike of the annual rim series.
FULL DESCRIPTION

This will be a rewarding hike with some of the best views on the rim. However, it will be long and difficult. The hike will be a loop hike of 6 miles and includes two strenuous ascents, two steep descents, some rock scrambling on three rocky summits, and some moderate off-trail hiking. The return will be back to the Parkway via the Mt. Mitchell Toll Road. Hikers will carpool from Black Mountain or the Folk Art Center to the Parkway. So, plan on an all-day hike and please bring raingear, sturdy shoes, plenty of water, a hearty lunch, and hiking sticks if you have them! Difficulty: Strenuous, 6.5 miles Elev Gain: 2,660 feet**Note: The route of this hike as shown is dependent on the reopening of the BRP up to Mount Mitchell State Park prior to the date of the hike. If the BRP remains closed as of the date of the hike, an alternate hike will be substituted. Registered hikes will be notified if the route has been changed as soon as possible prior to the hike.** $5 for museum member, $50 for non-member.
