Enjoyed a lovely hike in the park with my family. I like this trail because of the diversity of things to see when linked up with Devil's Backbone. Water was flowing great! +
Was a great hike. Attendees were Noah Daugherty, Beth Bayens, Teni Butler, and Jonathan Shumaker. +
Hiked Lakeside Trail clockwise to Hemlock Trail cutting across Lake Road to Fire Tower Trail. Return was down River Mountain Rd. to Feagins Gap, then left on Lake Road all the way back to Nature Center. Hot day but nice hike. +

Great hike! Passed many people along the way up and back. Parking can get a little sparse as the day goes on. Parking area is not huge for Hawksbill. +

Hiked the Iron Mountain to Hughes Gap portion on March 13th. Hiked Hughes Gap to Carver's Gap on March 20th. +
Hike started just after 10am. Even in the first weekend in May, the parking lot at Carvers Gap is starting to fill up. It was an absolutely gorgeous morning/afternoon weather-wise. So perfect that I do not think a single hiker broke a sweat. The hike trekked through the fir forest along the AT for 2 miles, past the Roan High Knob AT shelter and the site/remains of the Cloudland hotel. About 1 mile in, there was a recently downed tree across the trail that involved some climbing over. We passed several section or thru hikers on the trail. After 2 miles on the AT, we continued on the Cloudland Trail for another mile to enjoy the Roan High Knob Bluff overlook all to ourselves for a great rest break and lunch. There was a neat splintered tree from a very recent lightening strike on the Cloudland Trail section. Then we hiked back the way we came, for a round-trip mileage of approx. 6.9 miles (~4.5 total miles on the AT). Gary Bond attended (a new member and previous thru hiker) and was a great companion for the trip with myself and my wife, Jackie. +
Teni Butler hiked as well. Only hiked to Hughes Gap. +
