We Hike to Heal - Pisgah Forest, NC - FREE Women's Mindful Hike

Join Asheville We Hike to Heal Ambassador, Kelly, for this FREE Women's Mindful Hike!

Our mission at We Hike to Heal is to build an inclusive community that normalizes self care, creates a sacred space for healing and adventure, and prioritizes the mental and emotional wellbeing of all women. Because we believe that when women thrive, the world thrives.

This is the first event of 2026 in a series of FREE mindful hikes for women. The hikes will increase in mileage and elevation throughout the summer. Come to one hike or join us for all! We welcome all fitness levels. Our goal is to enjoy the journey.

This hike features Moore Cove Falls in Pisgah National Forest. This trail features a variety of spring wildflowers and views of the creek. We'll hike for a little bit then stop for a guided meditation. Then we'll continue our hike to the waterfall for some mindful moments and journaling before returning to the trailhead.

NOTE: there are a couple series of stairs throughout this trail - if you suffer from any pain or injuries, please bring hiking poles and listen to your body. Learn more about the trail here. The trailhead is approximately 42 minutes from Asheville, NC; one hour and 30 minutes from Greenville, SC. Parking is limited.
