Programs
Join us on Friday, June 6th at 9AM to hike out to Black Rock Mountain from Waterrock Knob.
We will meet at Jackson County Recreation Complex in Cullowhee at 9AM
This hike will take us on an out and back for about ~ 5 ~ miles with 2250 feet in elevation gain. This will mean we are using the energy to hike about ~ 9.5 to 10 ~ miles of strenuous hiking. It is a true glimpse into the back country and a trail that is one of my favorites. This hike is strenuous and not for folks who are just beginning to hike. You must be able to hike 9 to 10 miles and be able to maneuver the rocky declines on the trail. Please contact the Outdoor Recreation Manager at the Recreation Department with any questions you might have about the hike or gear.
Fee: $7
REQUIRED to bring:
-Day Pack
-Snacks
-Lunch
-Water
-Head Lamp with fresh batteries
-Layers of extra clothing (temps will be cooler than expected)
-Rain Gear (just in case)
-Hat & sunglasses (Optional)
