Got any plans this Saturday? Come enjoy the great outdoors! 🥾🌲

Celebrate National Trails Day by hiking Ridge’s Mountain located at 504 Summit Court, Asheboro, NC. Zoo staff will be present at the trailhead from 10 am - 2 pm to greet hikers and talk about the history of Ridge’s Mountain. 🏔️

The existing two-mile hiking trail follows the ridgeline to the summit then loops back down. On the hike you can expect to see interesting rock formations and massive boulders up to 50-feet tall. Access to the trail is available to the public by reservation (336-879-7711) but reservations are not needed on June 1. 🪨

The entire mountain is permanently protected and managed as a State Nature Preserve by the North Carolina Zoo. It is an extremely important site for wildlife conservation due to the excellent habitat it provides for many native plants and animals such as bobcats, deer, box turtles, and birds. 🐢
