Join us for a guided 1.8-mile hike along the fox trail. A ranger will navigate, while sharing inspired insight as we start the new year off with a stroll through the woods. We will meet at the Picnic Shelter located at the Mayo Mountain Access. We will have a fire, ready for you to warm your hands before and after the hike. We will provide hot chocolate, while supplies last. Let us know that you are coming by emailing us at mayo.river@ncparks.gov. We look forward to seeing you!
