High Peaks invites you to join us on a hike to one of the area’s most scenic spots, Hawksbill Mountain overlooking Linville Gorge. The 360-degree views of the gorge and nearby Table Rock are breath-taking!

The hike begins on the Jonas Ridge Trail and is rated as moderate, although it is rocky in places and features a 700-foot elevation gain. Total hike distance will be about 4.5 miles.

Meet at 8:30 a.m. at the Park n’ Ride on Highway 19 about a mile east of Micaville and we’ll carpool from there. Drive-time is about 45 minutes. You can also meet the group at the trailhead at 9:30 a.m.

Bring water, a snack, hiking poles if you use them and sturdy footwear. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome, but be prepared to clean up after your pet.

Please call or text Hike Leader Diane Schramm at 904-349-0479 with questions or to reserve your spot with the group.
