Join us for a Walk & Talk at Ghost Town on Saturday, October 17, as part of Great Trails State Day!

We’ll be hiking the Village Boulders Trail up to the Ghost Town cliffline overlooking downtown Chimney Rock, led by the C4 crew members who built the trail. Along the way we’ll stop at a few key features, including Grandview Boulder, the original end of the trail before CCC purchased the property in November 2025, and talk through the history of climbing here, what went into building this trail, how it fits into the larger Hickory Nut Gorge State Trail system, and the property’s history with the town of Chimney Rock. This event is open to everyone, not just climbers. Come curious about trails, conservation, or local history. Heads up: this is a strenuous hike with significant elevation gain. Plan for at least 1 mile up to the cliffline on a completed trail, with dramatic views at the top. From there, you can opt into another mile along the cliffline through sections still under construction. 🔗 RSVP at tinyurl.com/CCCGreatTrailsDay (link in bio)
