from North America's National Parks" to appear at Hiking Festival

On Saturday May 5, The Great Southeastern Hiking Festival comes to Black Mountain, North Carolina. From 9 AM until 7 PM, a free festival will take place in downtown Black Mountain. This free festival runs concurrent with a 4-day conference that will be taking placce in nearby Montreat, NC. Music and speakers will be featured throughout the day. There will also be a number of exhibits setup throughout town, including booths representing American Hiking Society, the Carolina Mountain Club, NC Bartram Trail Society, and the Friends of the Mountains to Sea Trail.

At 2 PM former NPS park ranger, Andrea Lankford serves up a backpackful of spooky stories and freaky folklore from her critically acclaimed book, Haunted Hikes: Spine-Tingling Tales and Trails from North America's National Parks. Reviewers describe Andrea's strange but true tales from near and afar as "spell-binding," "fun," and "Oooh, scary!" During the book signing that follows, get a free cool and creepy sports bottle with your book purchase.

We hope to see lots & lots of folks at the festival, so mark your calendar, and plan to bring the entire family for a fun filled day!
