SUMMARY:2024 Beaver Creek Boulder Walk
DESCRIPTION:Date: Saturday\, July 27th\nTime: Starting at 10:00 AM\nWhere: Beaver Creek at South Yellow Mountain Preserve\nDistance: 1 mile\nDifficulty: Moderately strenuous (7/10)\, uneven terrain with minor scrambling on slippery rocks\nCost: Free for Members\, $10 for non-members\nRegistration: Pre-registration is REQUIRED\nExplore the pristine beauty of Beaver Creek in Mitchell County with a refreshing creek walk! Beginning at a small waterfall\, hikers will trace the meandering path of the creek northwards\, while encountering vibrant aquatic life and traversing picturesque boulder fields.  This excursion is not a normal hike as it involves some rock scrambling and steep slopes\, so please come prepared with sturdy closed-toe water shoes\, snacks\, plenty of water\, a change of clothes\, and trekking poles to navigate slippery surfaces. Plan to get a little wet! \nSAHC staff leading the hike will pause frequently to cool down in the cold mountain waters or to explore the nooks and crannies of the surrounding landscape. Along the way the group will learn about the importance of protecting clean water and have a chance to experience first hand what that looks like while navigating dense hemlock groves and flourishing riparian zones. These areas are shaded by majestic oak\, poplar\, hickory\, and deciduous magnolia trees\, providing a serene backdrop for the excursion. \nPlease join us for this challenging\, yet beautiful creek walk that promises a unique experience combining adventure with environmental education in the heart of Appalachia. \nDue to the nature of this off-trail excursion\, for safety reasons\, this hike will be limited to 10 participants.  A separate registration form must be completed for each participant.  \nIf you have any questions\, please reach out to justin@appalachian.org.
