If you’re looking for a challenge, look no further than Hanging Rock State Park and the 2nd annual “Reach the Peaks” hiking challenge scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 27, 2014. The hike already has over 160 registrations and the number of registered hikers is rapidly increasing each day.
Reach the Peaks, a strenuous 11 mile hike, will challenge participants to summit the five major peaks of Hanging Rock State Park, Moore’s Knob, House Rock, Cook’s Wall, Wolf Rock, and Hanging Rock, all in one day. Organized by the Stokes County Arts Council and Friends of the Sauratown Mountains, this year’s event will begin at the Visitor’s Center Parking lot with day of check in/registration taking place between 7:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.
Over 50 volunteers will be involved in the event with water and hospitality stations set up along the trail and a variety of informational booths highlighting all of the outdoor recreation possibilities in the county set up in the main parking lot.
Participants receive an event t-shirt, stainless steel water bottle, post-hike meal, and trail comfort/hospitality. They will also be provided an event card to be checked after reaching the summit of each of the peaks. Those who summit all five peaks and complete the hike will receive a specially created “I Conquered Reach the Peaks” embroidered patch.
