The one-of-a-kind Blue Ridge Parkway Hike is coming up.

The hike is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 3.

 This hike features multiple waterfalls, incredible views of Looking Glass rock and, hopefully, some amazing ice formations.

The hike is approximately 12 miles with about half of that being uphill hiking, but it is worth it. Part of the hike is on the Blue Ridge Parkway, which is typically closed this time of year. The remainder is on forested trails.

 There are 2 meet-up locations to choose from. One will meet at the Rutherford County Administration Building (289 N. Main Street, Rutherfordton) at 8 a.m. and the Food Lion in Columbus (250 W. Mills Street, Columbus) at 8:30 am. Group will be on the far right of the parking area near MyGym. Let the group know which location you are meeting at or if you need an alternate meeting location. 

The trailhead is past Brevard up the Davidson River area. 

If interested in attending, RSVP by emailing Dana Bradley at dana@rutherfordoutdoor.org or call 828-351-3235.
