More than 40 miles of trails are maintained by the Montreat Conference Center. They’re no secret, but there is enough room to get away from the crowds. There are great views to be had from a rock outcropping on Lookout Mountain. The way up for normal people is to take the easy, 1.8-mile Rainbow Road trail, then climb steeply for about 1,000 feet on Lookout Trail. Those who think using a StairMaster is a fun workout can get there more directly by starting at the bottom of Lookout Trail and climbing for roughly 0.4 miles. Combine the two routes for a loop. Old Mitchell Toll Road is a roadbed used by tourists decades ago to drive from Black Mountain to Mount Mitchell, with grades easy enough for a Model T. The classic Montreat hike is the 8.8-mile round trip on Graybeard Trail to the summit of Graybeard Mountain at 5,408 feet in elevation. Getting there. Take N.C. 9 north from Interstate 40. Navigating. A small but useful map of the trail system is available at the “Wilderness” section of montreat.org. Area outfitters sell an excellent “Black Mountain” map put out by Pisgah Map Co. with much more detailed trail information.

Great in the summer with a fun creek to explore to cool off in! In the colder weather there are bridges to get from space to space- lots of fun for kids of all ages.

Great hiking trails of all levels are located in the preserved wilderness area surrounding the conference center and are open to the public. Get your trail map at the Assembly Inn or during the summer join a guided hike at the "nature hut" located near the General Store across form the Inn.

Conference center that hosts events. There are also some nice walking paths around Montreat in general.

Beautiful Prebyterian retreat. We love to hike the trails, grab an ice cream cone at the Huckleberry Cafe.
