If you're interested in hiking with us, check out our hike schedule. We offer 3 or more group hikes each week. In addition, our hike finder offers a long list of hikes in Western North Carolina. If you are interested in a hike you see on the list but can't find it in our hike schedule, send us a note through the Contact Us link and we'll try to work it into a future schedule. You can also contact us through the Club's Facebook Page--Carolina Mountain Club--to make comments and suggestions about hikes and other CMC activities.

If you are new to the area and want to try some easy hikes check out the NC Arboretum ($8 for non-members, but free the first Tuesday of each month). You can pick up a trail map at the gate. Gentle hikes (with little altitude gain) can be found in the Bent Creek/Lake Powhatan section of the Pisgah National Forest (adjacent to the Arboretum).
