Boone's Hike on Easter Sunday

The gorgeous weather brought out a crew of bright-eyed, bushy-tailed hikers (and some bushy-tailed four-legged companions, too!) looking to work up an Easter brunch appetite! Our delightful guide, Boone, led the energetic group on popular Boggs trails – Shaker, Berry’s, Crew, Buzzard, Thinner’s, Gails and then back down to Shaker – approximately 6 miles. Thanks, Boone!
