Sounds like an excellent day! Please count me in. How strenuous a hike are you planning on? I may be tempted to bring a friend, but not a hiker, per se.

We'll tailor the hike to the crowd that shows up and the weather. There are lots of good trails in the area that are lovely this time of year and are not particularly strenuous. The only thing to be careful of is that everyone wears good footwear as you will be on rock some of the time and in sneakers the bottoms of the feet get mighty tender.

And back to the suggestion by MacWage....Dupont State Forest is not too far from Hendersonville, and has great trails and the largest waterfalls in the state. I'd vote for that as a destination.
