Come One, Come All! Let’s celebrate the holidays together with good food and good fellowship, Plus, a fun holiday game or two. The attire for the event is dressy casual. Entrees will be catered by Copper Kitchen. Wine and beer will be provided by the club. We ask that members bring their favorite appetizer, bread, side dish or dessert to share.

Easy, Moderate & Strenuous Hikes: Meet at Hanging Rock State Park Visitors’ Center. Join us for the Annual New Year’s Day hikes at Hanging Rock State Park. There will be 3 versions of this hike: strenuous, moderate, and easy. Each hike will have some beautiful views to start the new year. Meet at 10:00 a.m. in the upper parking lot in front of the Visitors’ Center. At that point, we will divide into groups based on each participant’s preferred hike. Departures will be staggered. The longer hike (strenuous) will be about 9 miles. It will include Moore’s Knob, House Rock, Cook’s Wall, and Wolf Rock. About 2,000 feet elevation gain. [R-29] The moderate hike will cover about 6-7 miles to House Rock, Wolf Rock, and Cook’s Wall and then back to the parking lot. About 900 feet elevation gain. [R-16]. The short hike will ascend Hanging Rock and will cover about 3 miles. About 600 feet elevation gain. [R-9].
Carpools: Feel free to organize your own carpools. I recommend Greensboro hikers gather at the Lowe’s Foods grocery store in Oak Ridge, 2205 Oak Ridge Rd, Oak Ridge, NC 27310, for a departure no later than 9:00 a.m. Winston-Salem hikers should gather at the shopping plaza parking lot near the McDonald's at 426 Jonestown Rd, Winston-Salem, NC 27104, for a departure no later than 9:00 a.m.
