Women's Backpack
Starting at Moses Cone Manor and finishing at the Beacon Heights Parking Lot, this three-day, two-night backpack excursion will hike along 21 miles of the Mountains to Sea Trail, including 14 miles of the Tanawha Trail. This route covers some of the most beloved hikes in the High Country - Trout Lake, Boone Fork Trail, Holloway Mountain, Storyteller Rock, and the Viaduct, just to name a few.
This hike is best suited for hikers with an intermediate level of fitness, as we will be covering up to 8 miles in one day with around 30 pounds on our backs. Beginner backpackers are welcome, as we will teach gear choice & packing, water filtration, navigation, safety, and fire skills.
Max group size is 6.
Becca will guide this trip, and you can read more about her here. If you have questions, you can email her at becca@thespeckledtrout.com.

Outdoor Women's Pint Night
Outdoor Women’s Night Summer Edition!
On August 8th, join us for an evening of visiting with new & old friends and learning about feminine hygiene in the backcountry. At 6:30 pm, we’ll be hosting a conversation about all the bathroom things when you don’t have a bathroom - All ages, abilities, and activities are welcome.
Forest Bathing
Experience the forest through meditation and mindfulness practices to relax and restore your energy. Spending time in the woods improves both our mental and physical health, even when we’re not exercising.
This guided practice is not about identifying plants nor about a hike to get the heart rate up. We’ll be walking a mile or less during the whole three hours.
