Join us for this killer 15.6 mile hike! Despite the drive and brutal hike, this will be the third time the AOC returns to Gregory Bald, which is famous for the great 360 views from the top and the unique hybridization of the Flame Azaleas. If you have only so far seen the orange ones, you are in for a real treat! Native Azaleas in every shade of orange, yellow, pink and white... DO bring your cameras! Note: Bears are known in this area, but it's usually more of an issue in August, when the blueberries are ripe. If you have bear spray, not a bad idea to bring it. Also, there is water at the lower elevations, and it is a good idea to bring a water filter. Three liters can go pretty quick with this distance at this time of year. Finally, bring a wind jacket or some kind of warm layer. Even though it will be late June, the top of the bald can get chilly in a hurry.

The total amount should be divided by the number of people in the vehicle, including the driver. This is a guideline, not a rule, for drivers but the cost should not be higher unless there are extenuating circumstances. | ||||||
Notes: | |||||||
Once the roster is in place, you may get an email asking if you want to turn this into an overnight trip. I've done this as a daytrip at least 5 times over the years and it's a LOOOOONG day. I'm not planning to backpack, but I might look into getting a cabin or hotel rooms for the weekend. * We encourage all members to follow our Etiquette Guidelines while participating in AOC events. | |||||||
