The United Methodist Church Box 1165 Lake Junaluska. An embroidered Asbury Trail Patch, the Asbury Trail Award Certificate, and a medal with ribbon for wearing on the Scout uniform may be purchased at a nominal cost after the hike's completion. Further description of these will be found in the Unit Packet. The Asbury Trail is a rugged twenty-seven mile trip over mountain trails and routes. Some portions will follow old road surfaces, but much of it will be difficult mountain terrain.
Water is available at several points along the Trail for refilling canteens.
The nights are cool even in midsummer, so warm equipment will be essential. It will take the best part of two days to hike the trail. We suggest that a unit arrive the day before starting the hike so that a good night's rest may be enjoyed. The Packet will contain information on how to make camping or other arrangements at the Assembly Grounds. Following the hike, a unit may wish to rest for the night before returning home.
