Hike to Health fee is waived
Friday, June 10th, 2011Pardee Hospital is excited to announce the Hike to Health at Pink Beds in Pisgah National Forest is free.
The health of our community is paramount, and we’ve made this the most accessible hike that we have done so far. We have found an economical way to still provide our famous Hike to Health t-shirts, a stainless steel Pardee water bottle, and a Pardee reusable grocery bag. If you have already registered you will not be charged a fee either.
Registration is nearly full, so make sure to call 1-866-790-WELL (9355) before we reach our limit. We limit the number of participants to keep the environmental impact to the forest a minimum. Also remember, dogs are welcome at all of our hikes.
I’ve been asked a lot about directions, so here they are: How to Get There: From Asheville, take I-240 west to I-26 east to the exit for the Asheville Airport (exit 40). Turn right onto NC 280; follow this 4-lane highway for 16 miles toward Brevard. At the intersection with US highways 276 and 64, turn right onto US 276 west (follow signs for Pisgah National Forest). Proceed up 276 for 11.4 miles to the Pink Beds Picnic Area, just past the Forest Discovery Center. The trail starts at the sign board at the back of the lot.
