Please join Pathways to Parks and the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy for this fantastic hiking experience to Deaverview Mountain! Pender and Tanya Marie, the founders of Pathways to Parks, will lead this hike to show participants stunning views of Asheville from within city limits. The vision of Pathways to Parks is to motivate Americans of color to get outdoors and enjoy the benefits of nature in our national, state and local parks and to help make it safe and easy for them to do so. This guided hike is designed to share with each other the healing power of the outdoors while creating community and friendships for the future. Upon arrival at the summit of Deaverview Mountain, participants will enjoy light refreshments and a warm campfire. The summit is accessible by vehicle so please do not feel limited by your mobility! There is an option to hike or drive to the summit. 

Deaverview Mountain is a name you might have heard in the news recently; this 343-acre tract has created a conservation buzz! Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy has signed an option agreement to purchase this iconic ridgeline overlooking the city of Asheville and much of the French Broad River valley; the agreement allows us 3 years to come up with a permanent conservation solution for the land. Clearly visible landmarks from Deaverview include the downtown Asheville skyline, Biltmore Estate, Mountain Mitchell, Mount Pisgah, the Grove Park Inn, Weaverville, the French Broad River, and more. Come visit this iconic property with us and discuss the exciting new future of Deaverview Mountain!
