Join us all month long in celebrating the 2025 NCSciFest theme "Science: Everyday, Everywhere, Everyone"! We will be hosting a month long, self-guided scavenger hunt using the Goosechase application. Take a hike along Nuwati Trail, Cragway Trail, or Daniel Boone Scout Trail to try to find all the items and get a chance to win some prizes! Make sure to plan your hike in advance using our online map, fill out our free paper permits at the Daniel Boone Scout Trail kiosk, pack snacks, water, and appropriate clothing, and wear hiking boots.
You can access these trails from Boone Fork Parking Area on the Blue Ridge Parkway- milepost 299.9 (GPS: 36.120076, -81.781358)
We will update this event with the link once we get it up and running.
Please respect that Profile Trail is still closed due to hurricane damage, no entry is allowed onto Profile Trail.
