Monday — never an easy time for the outdoors enthusiast. After a weekend of adventure, returning to the humdrum work-a-day world can make one melancholy. To help ease the transition, every Monday we feature a 90 Second Escape — essentially, a 90-second video or slide show of a place you’d probably rather be: a trail, a park, a greenway, a lake … anywhere as long as it’s not under a fluorescent bulb.
Today’s 90-Second Escape: GetHiking in the Birkhead Mountains Wilderness.
In the mellow rolling hills of the North Carolina Piedmont you’ll find the remnants of an ancient mountain range, the Uwharries. The highest mountains in this range, topping out around 900 feet, are in the Birkhead Mountains Wilderness, a 5,160-acre parcel on the northern tip of the Uwharrie National Forest. Take a walk through these woods with the GetHiking! Triangle hiking group.
