The hike is part of Friends of the Smokies monthly “Classic Hike of the Smokies” series. The hike will include the popular swimming spot Midnight Hole and Mouse Creek Falls. Hiking enthusiast and author Danny Bernstein will lead the hike. It is 10 miles, but relatively easy due to gentle terrain and wide trail.
A donation of $35 to go to the Friends Smokies Trails Forever program is requested, and includes a complimentary membership to Friends of the Smokies; or $10 for current Friends of the Smokies members.

Stephen Dobyns has written 20 novels and more than 10 volumes of poetry; however, he is difficult to “classify.” His writing is praised by big league names as varied as Francine Prose and Stephen King, but he is most famous for a “sexual harassment” charge brought against him while he was teaching at Syracuse University (allegedly, he was overheard making “salty and crude” comments at a party).
