From the Himalayas to the Sierra Nevada, people around the world look up to mountains as sources of renewal, wisdom, creativity and vision. As a member of the World Commission on Protected Areas of the World Conservation Union, Bernbaum is currently developing environmental programs that take into account the cultural and spiritual significance of mountains. Volunteers from A.T. maintaining clubs have been working since last year to present hikes, excursions and workshops in a nature filled environment surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Appalachian Mountains. Here's the schedule for the Wilderness Wildlife Week. All events occur or originate at the Heartlander Resort Hotel, located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on the left, just before the Water Park.
All events are free.
Canoeing News Hmmm, no news. Don't worry, fellas, the ice will melt. We had a lovely, cool day to walk the almost level, old railroad grade from near Coeburn. Va. to the Clinch River, 5.8 miles each way. With the leaves off the trees, we had great views of the cascades and rocky stream bed of the Guest River as well as of the vertical to overhanging cliffs that line the gorge.
