Uwharrie Trail Trek 2014

Uwharrie Trail Trek 2014

Last summer, LandTrust staff, interns, and friends had an amazing time on our first backpacking thru hike of the full 40 mile historic Uwharrie Trail. Thanks to more than 15 years of conservation work, this trail can now be hiked in its 40-mile entirety!

We got such positive response from our first thru hike, that we are doing another one this coming May open to all interested! There are some portions of trail still in development, so if you join us, you will get a first hand preview of these newly restored sections!

Join us as we journey through some of the oldest mountains in the world, explore the Land Trust’s recent land acquisitions, pay tribute to the trailblazers, and uncover the secrets of the past.
Dates for this year’s trip will be May 29th through June 1st. There is an option to join us on Friday, May 30th, with a longer first day.

This is a backpacking trip and all attendees must bring their own gear and supplies, but The LandTrust will provide transportation and the expert guidance needed to make this adventure possible.

If you are interested in attending all or even a portion of the trip, please contact Crystal at crystal@landtrustcnc.org for more information. We hope you can join us for this truly unique adventure!
