Come enjoy a delightful walk through the Elk Hollow Preserve along the Everett J. Bowman Memorial Trail during our Coldest Day of the Year Hike! This scenic route will guide us through stunning forests of oaks, maples, and beech trees, as well as vibrant meadows perfect for birdwatching. The Preserve is home to a variety of rare wildlife, such as Golden-winged Warblers, Southern Appalachian brook trout, and Gray’s lilies. In addition, SAHC has set up a camping platform, a well-maintained trail system, and a moldering privy to make your visit even more enjoyable.

The Elk Hollow Preserve is located about 1.5 hours north of Asheville, NC, and an hour from Johnson City, TN. Please plan your trip accordingly!

This event is FREE for SAHC members and $10 for non-members. If you’d like to become a member, click here!
