Description: Come join me on one of my favorite hikes off the Blue Ridge Parkway at Price Park. This is a super scenic 5 mile loop trail that will take us across multiple stream crossings with big boulders, slick rocks, dark rhododendron tunnels and grassy meadows with wildflowers. This club favorite hike will also afford us opportunities to climb a couple of ladders & a number of wooden steps. Plan on 3+ hours of hiking with one food stop. This is considered to be an easy to moderate hike for EXPERIENCED hikers but not a walk in the park. The terrain can be problematic so wear appropriate shoes and bring hiking poles. You’ll need to watch where you step and know that your shoes will get wet and possibly muddy. Following the hike, there will be an option to stop for ice cream at Kilwin’s near Blowing Rock. Calories don’t stick after hiking…
