The Healthy Living Program would like to thank all of the volunteers and participants who made the 2011 Trail Blazers’ Outdoor Adventure Club a resounding success. For two months the WWD-F coordinated hikes four days per week for over 25 children from the Hillcrest neighborhood into the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Hikers visited 11 different waterfalls, and 10 different hiking trails. Over the course of 30 or so excursions, the group hiked more than 65 miles through the great outdoors.

Many thanks to the Community Foundation of Western North Carolina and Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine for their financial contributions that made this series possible.
