SUMMARY:Curious Minds Science Adventures (NC Science Festival)
DESCRIPTION:This is a month-long event! Stop by any time during April to participate.  \nListen carefully and you may be able to hear the bygone shouts of lumberjacks hauling logs downriver at Lumber River State Park on the Coastal Science Trail. Today\, it’s more likely that you’ll see paddlers and boaters floating between its quiet banks. Lined with cypress trees draped in Spanish moss\, the river is home a variety of native fish and magnificent birds\, like the swallow-tailed kite and prothonotary warbler. Explore an abundance of wildlife and plant life on this National Wild and Scenic River. What will you find when you go? \nThe NC Science Trail has partnered with the NC State Parks to bring you seven new scavenger hunts this Science Festival season. Explore the wildlife\, plants\, trees\, and outdoor recreation at state parks across the state. All you have to do is download the Goosechase app\, enter the “Join Code” (XHUIVI)\, and start your adventure at the Chalk Banks Access Entry Kiosk. Adventures will “go live” on March 24 and can be completed at any time all month long. Complete at least 7 out of 10 missions and redeem your points at Park Office at the Princess Ann Access for prizes. \n\n\n\n\nContact Information\n\n\n\nMichele Miller Houck\n\n\n\n\nmichele@ncsciencetrail.org

SUMMARY:Public Hike: Ridgeline Trail
DESCRIPTION:Join Carolina Thread Trail staff on this advanced hike\, which showcases forests and vistas that lie between two of the region’s most notable state parks.  This approximately 9-mile hike\, largely comprised of the Ridgeline Trail\, traverses the undulating terrain of the Crowders and Kings Mountain “monadnock” ridge.  Monadnocks are unique geological features comprised of more erosion-resistant rock that rise abruptly above the surrounding landscape.  Monadnocks represent most of the steep ridges found in the Carolina piedmont. \nThis point-to-point hike\, while immersing participants in beautiful natural environment\, is considered challenging based upon length\, duration and terrain.  Please be prepared for a hike that will last between 4-5 hours.  Once we arrive at Crowders Mountain State Park Visitors Center Pinnacle Trailhead\, a shuttle van will transport participants back to Kings Mountain State Park. \nTo cover the cost of transportation and state park admission\, there is a $40 cost for this hike.
