Asheville, NC Hike—10/5: Nature Unplugged Hike-A-Thon

Come explore the stunning natural beauty of the North Carolina Arboretum with the Asheville community on the trail!

Located within the wildly-popular and botanically beautiful Southern Appalachian Mountains, The North Carolina Arboretum offers more than 10 miles of hiking and biking trails that connect to many other area attractions such as Lake Powhatan, the Bent Creek Experimental Forest, Pisgah National Forest and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Learn more about the trails at the NC Arboretum.

Our trail hikes and urban adventures are a time to get together with old friends and make new ones. They're a time to unplug from our devices, breathe in the fresh air and connect with the world around us. At Nature Unplugged, we're committed to creating a community that values time outside, together—and that’s why we host our annual Hike-A-Thon and locally guided hikes.

Important Note: This event is a part of a month-long Hike-A-Thon! To participate in the Hike-A-Thon, please register here: https://charity.pledgeit.org/enu-hike-a-thon-2024

OCTOBER 1 - 31, 2024 | For the month of October, participants will be taking steps (literally and figuratively) to improve their own health, build community and advocate for less screen time and more green time. This hybrid event inspires people of all ages and abilities to get outdoors and raise funds to bring preventative mental health education and outdoor programming to communities in need. Participants can join local guided hikes (in select cities across the US and Canada), or log miles from anywhere in the world!
