Join us for a Hike! Public Lands Day
September 30, 2017 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Enjoy a nature hike led by The Nature Conservancy’s Clinch Valley Program Director, Brad Kreps.
The Pinnacle Natural Area Preserve is located near the confluence of the Clinch River and Big Cedar Creek where towering cliffs, sheer limestone ledges, and waterfalls can be enjoyed from the trail. The preserve is named for a towering rock outcrop known as The Pinnacle—a sheer spire of dolomite created by the dissolving action of groundwater in combination with down-cutting of the gorge. The preserve’s unique habitats support at least nine rare species and two rare natural communities.
Meet at The Pinnacle Natural Area Preserve parking lot at 10 a.m.
This is a moderate 3-4 mile roundtrip hike to Big Cedar Falls
If you plan to participate please contact Jen Dalke, volunteer manager at jdalke@tnc.org or call/text 540-335-1302.
