About the Event and Club
The BLK Women's Hike is for Black women only. We will enjoy a hike while building community through dialogue about the varying experiences of Black women.
BLK Hiking Club events are intended for Black people only unless otherwise stated due to the limited options that exist for Black people to engage in the outdoors where we can easily see and engage with others who look like us and share our experiences. While we appreciate the work of allies, they are encouraged to join one of the many other hiking groups in the Triangle.
About the Hike
Trail Name: Mountain to Sea Trail
Length: 4.0 Miles
Route Type: Out and back
Attributes: Natural, Lake views, Creek
Difficulty Level: Moderate
Description: We will meet on the bridge behind the visitor center and start the MST (mountain to sea trail) from there. The trail is natural and includes various changes in elevation with tree roots throughout. We will cross over a small creek during the hike by stepping over rocks.
Dogs are allowed but must be on a six-foot leash.
Preparing for the Hike
1.
Hydrate as much as you can in the days leading up to the hike.
2.
Bring snacks and at least 64 ounces of water with you.
3.
Hiking boots are highly recommended. If you don't have hiking boots, please wear shoes you don't mind getting wet or dirty. There are parts of the trail that are muddy due to all the rain.
4.
Bring bug spray and sunscreen.
5.
Communicate any health concerns the Club should be aware of prior to your attendance by direct messaging one of the Hiking Leaders attending.
About the Park
Located near Wake Forest, North Carolina, this is a very popular area for birding, hiking, and running. The trail is part of the Mountains-to-Sea route. It follows the shore of Falls Lake, offering stunning views of the surrounding forest. The entire route is shaded, providing relief from the summer heat. You can also access Falls Lake Dam from this entrance.
