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 $10 fee.


  • The Difficult 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 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month.


  • We have returned  to driving to the Meeting Point associated with that hike. Hikers will then carpool to the trailhead. This will reduce parking congestion at trailheads as well as making it easier for hikers to get to the trailhead. Hikers will continue to  respond to the hike leader's email about the hike so the leader knows how many are coming.  We do encourage our members to be vaccinated.




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 and Thursdays every week.  Because of COVID precautions, we  currently meet at  the trailhead for each hike.  We leave 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 two hikes on Monday and two on Thursday - one being easier and the other harder.

The 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month we also offer a Social Hike.  This is a shorter and easier hike, usually less than 5 miles miles long with a total ascent under 500 feet.

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
