About this event

Saturday May 3 White Oak Sinks, GSMNP. This is a easy to moderate 5 mile hike with very little elevation gain. We’ll begin our hike at School House Gap entrance. We’ll hike to The Sinks and make our way to where the bat cave is located. There is much to see in this area including remnants of old homesteads, beautiful flowers and a very nice waterfall. After taking in the sights, we'll make our way back to our cars. Let's meet at Brown's Creek Shopping Center parking lot in Maryville (close to the Sonic) at 8:00 am EDT. We expect to be at the trailhead about 9:00am EDT. Don't forget to bring water, snacks and money for carpooling. Please preregister with Rosemary_L@hotmail.com or 865.985.9144 .
