 end a Sunday morning outside\, get some fresh air\, move our bodies\, meet
  some new people\, and then reward ourselves appropriately with tacos. 
 😄\n\nWe’ll meet at the Hard Times Trailhead off Wesley Branch Road an
 d hike the Pine Tree Loop\, an easy and scenic 3.5-mile loop through Bent 
 Creek.\n\nThis is meant to be a fun\, social hike\, not a race to see who 
 can disappear into the forest first. We’ll keep a comfortable pace that 
 gives everyone plenty of time to talk\, laugh\, enjoy the scenery\, and ac
 tually get to know the people you’re hiking with.\n\nThe route takes us 
 along Bent Creek\, through shaded forest\, open wildlife fields\, and wide
  trails where we can walk side-by-side and mingle as we go. There is about
  357 feet of elevation gain\, but it is gradual and considered an easy hik
 e.\n\nExpect wide dirt and gravel trails\, some grassy sections\, lots of 
 shade\, and a relaxed Sunday morning vibe.\n\n🥾 Hike Details\n\nDistanc
 e: Approximately 3.5 miles\nDifficulty: Easy\nElevation Gain: Approximatel
 y 357 feet\nTerrain: Dirt\, gravel\, wide grassy paths\, and gentle slopes
 \nMeeting Location: Hard Times Trailhead\, Wesley Branch Road\nStart Time:
  10:00 AM\n\nPlease wear comfortable hiking shoes\, bring water\, and dres

 ts to keep the fun going can join us for lunch at Taco Boy in Biltmore Par
 k.\n\nTaco Boy\n2 Town Square Blvd #120\nAsheville\, NC\n\nWe should arriv
 e around noon-ish\, depending on our hiking pace and how much talking we d
 o along the way. And knowing this group\, there may be talking. 😂\n\nCo
 me for the hike\, stay for the tacos\, or better yet\, do both.\n\nThis is
  a great event if you’re looking to get outside without doing a strenuou
 s mountain climb\, meet some new people\, reconnect with familiar faces\, 
 and spend a laid-back Sunday morning being social in one of Asheville’s 
 prettiest outdoor areas.\n\nSee you on the trail! 🌲🥾🌮
