Following discussions with the Town of Montreat Police Department and the NC Wildlife Resource Commission regarding the rise in bear encounters, Lookout Trail will remain closed until Monday, June 29. As it is our most frequented hiking area, this decision has been made out of an abundance of caution. Rainbow Road has reopened, but we strongly advise hikers to steer clear of all sections of Lookout Trail. For the most updated hiking information, please refer to montreat.org/hiking-in-montreat. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
