Sam Calhoun will lead this hike into the botanical wonderland of Indian Tomb Hollow in the northeastern part of the Bankhead National Forest. Under Sam’s knowledgeable guidance, participants can expect to see early spring ephemerals in various stages and the late winter forest budding into a new season.
Bring a small backpack with lunch, snacks, and water.
Be prepared by watching the weather forecast and dressing accordingly. There will be two or three narrow stream crossings. Footwear should keep feet dry and have good, sturdy soles with reliable traction for slick rocks and mud.
