Pink Beds and Barnett Branch Hike

A mostly flat 5 miles in Pisgah National Forest on the Pink Beds Trail. Little-walker friendly! (although because of the distance, a back-up carrier is advised)

Let’s take a weekend road trip to Pisgah National Forest! We will hike parts of the Pink Beds and Barnett Branch Trails, for a total distance of 5 miles. Along the way we will pass through meadow, marshland, forest, and to a waterfall! The trail is flat and easy most of the way, but due to the distance, please bring a carrier for children under 5 years old.

We will meet at the Pink Beds Picnic Area in Pisgah National Forest, just off Hwy 276 11 miles north of Brevard. Here is a google map of the exact location: https://goo.gl/maps/r1f55dePko42 Gather near the trailhead sign to the left of the picnic area.
