Sam Knob Summit Trail Hike
Sam Knob Trail
Canton, NC 28716
USA
Join us for this moderate 2.2 mile adult paced hike to the top of the Sam Knob Summit (elevation 6045ft)! This trail will take us down a gravel path, over a boardwalk, through a beautiful meadow, with a short climb to the top with almost 360 degree views!
We will meet in the Black Balsam parking lot for our welcome circle before departing on the trail by 10:15. Once we reach the summit we will take a break to enjoy the beautiful views and have a snack before returning on the same trail. There are several places to let little ones stretch out their legs along the trail, but please bring carriers for little walkers under 3 as we will be keeping an adult pace.
Weather tends to be cooler at this elevation, but there is very little shade on this trail so bring sun protection!
POTENTIAL BABY OR CHILD HAZARD
