Lace up your boots and hit the Walhalla Trail

A hike on the Walhalla Trail at Cataloochee Ranch is set for Saturday, Feb. 11, a postponement of an earlier hike date.

The 4-mile hike will begin at 11 a.m. at Cataloochee Ranch, a private preserve and eco-tourism location located on the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Maggie Valley. Bring water, comfortable shoes, warm clothes and a camera. Bring dogs, too, as long as they are well behaved and not rowdy. The hike is considered easy to moderate in difficulty. Hike is free for members of Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy and is $10 for non-members.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
