Additional Information


  • If you are interested in becoming a member of High Country Hikers, use the contact form below to request a hike schedule.  We will email you a schedule and other important information.  You become a member when you hike with us and pay a one-time $15 fee.


  • The Challenging category is our newest category. These hikes are typically have the Strenuous rating. These are intended for fit and experienced hikers. They can involve a longer drive to the trailhead. These are scheduled for Monday in a separate hike schedule.


  • We also have a recent category of hikes: Social Hikes.  These meet 3 criteria:  less than 5 miles in length;  less than 500 feet in ascent;  slower and more relaxed pace than the Easy / Moderate hikes.  There will be more stops and time for a quick photo or two.  They are scheduled on the first four Wednesdays of each month.


  • We  gather at the Meeting Point associated with that hike. Hikers will then carpool to the trailhead usually at 8:30. Hikes can choose to drive directly to the trailhead if there is ample parking. Hikers respond to the hike leader's email about the hike so the leader knows how many are coming.  




who we are

 Come with us and experience the diverse natural wonders of Western North Carolina and the Upstate of South Carolina.  Our hikes cover a range of terrain from gentle slopes to strenuous mountains, often featuring waterfalls, rocky peaks, spring wildflowers fall colors, fog-covered mountains and clear 

views for miles. 

Join us on the trail

We are a hiking club based out of Hendersonville, NC.  We have hikes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays every week.  We leave the specified Meeting Point by 8:30am sharp.  Our hikes typically range from 5 to 10 miles in length with total ascents between 500 feet to over 2000 feet. We have three hikes on Monday and two on Thursday and one on Wednesday.


The places we go

We have a wide range of interesting hikes.  We range from very easy and nearby hikes such as Carl Sandburg's Connemara to distant and difficult hikes such as Mount LeConte in  the Smokys.  The majority of our hikes are in the Pisgah National Forest, but we have a number of hikes in DuPont State Forest and in  the Upstate of South Carolina
