St. John’s Hikers!

October has brought us wonderful hiking weather, so let’s hope it lasts for our next scheduled hike Saturday, Oct. 28 beginning at the Falls Lake Dam parking lot, located directly behind the dam off Old Falls of Neuse Road. We will walk about 3.-3.5 miles, in and out, on Section 10 of the Mountains to the Sea Trail. This 77-mile footpath begins at the dam and extends continuously west to Eno River State Park in Orange County. We are lucky to be in close proximity to so much of this amazing state park trail with its diverse flora, fauna, geology, and terrain.

Carpoolers should meet in the church parking lot at 8:30AM; self-drivers meet in the dam parking lot by 8:45AM. As always, wear good, closed toe walking shoes, bring water, and dress in layers if cool. Walking sticks or poles are recommended for traversing the sometimes rocky and root-riddled trails.
