Take a winter walk on the Mountains-to-Sea Trail Sunday, Jan. 7, in Asheville with the Carolina Mountain Club.
This 14-mile hike includes 2,050 feet of ascent and is billed as the group’s “newest annual tradition” and “a great winter workout hike.” The route starts at the French Broad Overlook near the N.C. Arboretum and hikes over the rolling Biltmore section of the MST to end up at the Folk Art Center — with a much-anticipated stop for lunch and a warmup at the Fresh Market.
The group will meet at the Folk Art Center at 9 a.m. to shuttle to the trailhead. To reserve a spot, contact Les Love at 828.230.1861 or lesrlove55@gmail.com.
