Guided Wildflower Hike

Join Holmes Forest rangers for an easy hike to observe and identify early spring wild flowers. Call 828 692-0100 or email holmesesf.ncfs@ncagr.gov to reserve a spot. You must sign up for this program to participate. Hikers are likely to see plenty of trillium, Solomon’s seal, dwarf iris, and more. The program is limited to 20 people but if there is enough interest another hike may be offered. Hikers will meet at the main kiosk in the parking lot at 10am. Bring comfortable shoes, a water bottle, a camera, and a wildflower field guide. The guided hike is set to end at 12pm but there is much more at Holmes Educational State Forest that you can explore on your own time. The forest offers hiking trails, secluded picnic areas, and a variety of educational exhibits.
