Hikers will meet in the parking lot of Black Mountain Savings Bank, 200 E. State Street in Black Mountain, at 9:30 a.m. Participants should wear sturdy hiking gear, bring lunch, drinks and snacks, and dress for cold weather hiking. Return is expected to be around 2:30 p.m. Cost is $5 for museum members, $15 for non-members, and memberships will be available at the beginning of the hike.
