Lifelong Adventure: Blue Ridge Adventure at Wildacres

  • 10:00am Monday, September 16, 2024 - 6:00pm Wednesday, September 18, 2024

Enjoy the last days of summer at Wildacres Retreat Center, on its own heavily wooded mountain peak just off the Blue Ridge Parkway near Little Switzerland. We will explore nearby trails for wildflowers, mushrooms, salamanders, and other wildlife. We also will do a night hike under a full moon and a daytime hike to Crabtree Falls, one of the prettiest waterfalls along the parkway. Great food, comfortable accommodations and plenty of rocking chairs for enjoying great views of the mountains from retreat center.
