Our Hiking for Health series continued with two more great adventures! During session 3, Knott County hikers traveled to Wolfe County and joined hikers from other Quicksand Area counties to explore the beautiful Rock Bridge and Sky Bridge Trails.
Our 4th session took us to Wise Virginia, where we enjoyed hiking the scenic Guest River Gorge trail. We made stops along the way to add locations to our Passport booklets
These hikes continue to give us the opportunity to enjoy nature, stay active, and spend time with friends while exploring new places together!
