Guided hikes 2011 & 2012

All hikes at Bright Leaf are guided hikes.

The Friends of Bright Leaf volunteers are happy to provide guided hikes to the public.
Guided hikes are open to the public and are on the second Saturday and second Sunday
of each month.

Monthly hikes start at 9:00am.

Monthly hikes are usually 4 miles long and last about 2 hours.
Wear sturdy shoes and bring your own water.

Please arrive on time – there is only one hike per day.
We are happy to arrange other hikes for any type or size of group. Call 459-7269.
