Join SAHC for a beautiful fall hike at our Elk Hollow Preserve! This moderate two mile scenic route will guide us through stunning forests of oaks, maples, and beech trees. The trail will wander beside Elk Hollow Branch and pass some 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 well-maintained trail system, a tent camping platform, and a moldering privy!
It is hunting season, so bright colored/blaze orange clothes and hats are strongly recommended.
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!
After registering, you’ll receive directions, meeting instructions, and other important details a couple days prior to the event date. If you have any questions please email Erin Goodpaster at erin@appalachian.org
