Musical Feast: It’s O’er the Ridge We Go

Join our intrepid hikers, Marilyn Kolton and Lou Dwarshuis, on a hike along the beautiful ridge trail starting at Elk Pasture Gap and going (mostly downhill) for about 3 miles. You can expect to see the rare Dutchman’s Pipe wildflower and many other spring blooms as well as a variety of ferns. Besides the fresh new forest plants, you’ll find gorgeous scenic views all along the ridgeline.

The hike will end at the Mt. Pisgah picnic area, where our hosts will have set up a flavorful lunch with sandwiches, salads, desserts and cold drinks of all kinds.

So lace up your hiking shoes, wear comfortable layered clothes and bring a hiking stick and water. Bring rainwear for that unexpected shower. If your interest is so inclined, bring your camera and binoculars. There are always interesting – and sometimes surprising – sightings on a Musical Feast Hike.

We will meet at 9:00 am at the K-Mart parking lot located at 980 Brevard Rd. just west of the Outlet Mall and carpool from there.
