SUMMARY:Bartram Trail Jones Gap to Fishhawk Mountain
DESCRIPTION:Asheville - Outdoor Club South\n\nWe got snowed out when we tri
 ed this Christmas Eve so I'm reposting it for Feb 6.\n\nThis is one of the 
 most scenic sections of the Bartram Trail just north of Highlands.  It's an
  outstanding day hike along a rarely traversed ridge with spectacular summi
 ts and overlooks.  There are a series of granite outcrops to explore as wel
 l.\n\n\n\nOur trail first passes through a wildlife plot then ascends a sho
 rt distance to our first great view from Jones Knob (picture above).  From 
 here we'll continue through the fern covered forest\, rhododendron\, then m
 oss covered ledges.  There are a few views from some granite domes along th
 e way.  We then gradually slab up the eastern side of Whiterock Mountain.  
 A short side trail makes a neat passage between rocks to expansive views no
 rth along the ridge from a dome on the 4\,480 foot summit.  We'll continue 
 on through White Oak forest up to 4\,748 foot Fishhawk Mountain where we'll
  find a plaque commemorating Bartram's travels.  \n\nI've turned the waitin
 g list on.  Do RSVP if the event is full as I will allocate further spots d
 epending on turnout from the other cities.\n\nRequired Items: Hiking Shoes
