Day Trip to NC Arboretum & Black Mountain

Join us for an exciting day trip to both the North Carolina Arboretum & the town of Black Mountain! Participants will have the opportunity to tour at their own pace the grounds of the Arboretum and see acres of cultivated gardens as well as art exhibits. Later in the afternoon we will visit the town of Black Mountain where participants will have time for lunch on their own and time to tour the town. Afterwards, we will stop at Lake Tomahawk Park in Black Mountain where we will meet with Black Mountain Parks & Rec for a leisurely-paced walk around the park as they inform us about the park as well as their town. We expect to return to Highland by 4:30PM. If you have any questions regarding this day trip, please feel free to contact our front desk phone at: 828-322-7046 ext. 7997.

There will be light walking during this trip at the Arboretum and at Tomahawk Park in Black Mountain, public seating will also be available at both locations. You don’t want to miss this!
