This is another joint outing for TCWP and TNPS. The moderate, 2.5-mile loop starts in a valley with spring wildflowers that usually bloom a little later. We will also go by some populations of pink lady’s slippers before climbing to a nice view of Norris Dam.
We will meet for carpooling in Oak Ridge at the Gold’s Gym/Books-A-Million parking lot (meet at the end close to S. Illinois Avenue, near Salsarita’s) in time to leave at 9:15 a.m. Eastern, or you can meet the group in the parking lot at the Norris Grist Mill (Lower Clear Creek Rd, Norris, TN) at 10 a.m. Eastern. Bring water, a lunch, and bug spray.
Hike leader will be Margaret Cumberland. If you RSVP, it will help with planning and allow contacting in case of cancellation. Phone/email: 919-339-0072, meshearin@gmail.com
