Long Hike with the Wildflowers

Join us for a 4-5 mile hike at Floracliff during peak wildflower season.

On this long hike, we'll trek up and down the Elk Lick Valley to view the diversity of spring wildflowers at Floracliff. Stops along the way will include Elk Lick Falls, Elk Lick Creek, and Floracliff's oldest tree, a chinquapin oak dating to 1611.

Program Leader: Floracliff Naturalists

Hiking Level: Moderate to strenuous in difficulty due to the steep terrain; uneven and sometimes slick surfaces; hike duration (4-5 hours) and distance (about 4 miles)

Bring: water and snacks/trail-lunch; a lightweight pack to carry your items

Optional: hiking poles, camera, binoculars

We'll take a break at the creek, so be sure to bring your lunch and appropriate clothing layers for whatever the day may bring.
