This fall, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina and the North Carolina State Parks continue Hike NC, a series of more than 60 free guided hikes across North Carolina’s state parks, nature preserves and your local community parks. Each hike will be led by the state’s top hiking and nature experts.

Come and hike the 2.5 miles of trail that winds down to the gorge, then stick around and learn how a trail is built as we work to expand our trail network. Prepare to pitch in and get dirty!
