Details
***** 6:45 ***** 6:45 ***** 6:45 *****
This is becoming a weekly event as we watch the changes in HBNP throughout the seasons.
This will be a ~2.3 mile BRISK hike on trails in beautiful Hemlock Bluffs Nature Preserve, 2616 Kildaire Farm Road in south Cary, with occasional screeching halts to try to identify birds. Bring binocs if you have them. There will be a lot of down-and-up on this hike, as there are a LOT of steps(stairs), and we will tread on each and every one, twice!! You should be in good physical condition for this hike.
NOTE: Departure time is **promptly at 6:45**. Gates are locked around sunset so we must be out by then. If raining more than a sprinkle, hike is canceled.
We will meet at the bulletin board nearest the nature center by the parking lot.

From Tryon Road & Kildaire Farm Road, go south on Kildaire Farm Road 1.3 miles and look for the Hemlock Bluffs sign on the right (in the middle of the massive construction zone).
