Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

At the next Live@Lanier, Tuesday, October 18, at 2 p.m., you’ll see that not all nearby hiking trails are climbs to vistas. There are also walks to falls sand streams, and strolls through hushed forests and woodlands. From the comfort of your Lanier Library chair, follow in the footsteps of Mark and Carol McCall to the many falls of Dupont Forest, along the Green River, to the top of Mount Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi, and more.

 

Tryon natives Mark and Carol have hiked trails worldwide and now lead the Tryon Trail Trotters, coordinating weekly hikes in the Tryon and Polk County area for all skill levels. Carol particularly enjoys identifying wildflowers and native plants on the trails. 

 

The McCall’s “Take a Hike” is the latest in the Felburn Nature and Wildlife Collection Program series. Join them at the Lanier Library, located at 72 Chestnut Street, in Tryon. For more info, call 828-859-9535 or visit www.thelanierlibrary.org.
