Blue Moon Hike

Feeling a little blue? You are not the only one. On August 30 the second full Moon,
known as the Blue Moon or Supermoonn will be largest in the sky at 9:36 p.m. Meet a
Park Ranger at 8:30 p.m. at Chimney Rock Brewing Company as we embark on a
one-mile night hike to the top of Shumont Mountain. From here we should be able
to see the entire lower section of the Hickory Nut Gorge and Lake Lure basking in
the full glow of this Blue Moon! Wear sturdy boots, bring water and flashlights. This event is free but registration is required.

Note: This trail is considered difficult.
