  • ERA - Let’s Go Hike! Fall Drop-In Hike

    ERA - Let’s Go Hike! Fall Drop-In Hike

    October 22, 2026  5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
    Cabelands Trail, 4950 Howe St, Durham, NC 27705, USA

    Join us for a fall drop-in hike along the Eno River!

    Registration is not required for Let’s Go Hike outings, so come on out at 5 PM for this ~2.25-mile Cabelands to Eno Quarry hike. We plan to complete the hike in about 1.5 hours so that we can return to the parking lot before sunset, but if you’re concerned about navigating in low light, feel free to bring a headlamp or flashlight just in case. These trails are of moderate difficulty with several rocky sections and a few short, steep inclines. 

    Your guide will share some information about the area along the way, but the primary focus is on getting outside, moving your body, enjoying the trails, and connecting with others. We’ll keep a comfortable, conversational pace and regroup as needed along the way.

    Please feel free to bring water and snacks. Wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and shoes. Well-behaved dogs are welcome as long as they are under your control and on a 6 foot leash.

    Meet in the Cabelands parking lot, at the end of Howe Street, off of Sparger Road in Durham (4950 Howe Street, Durham NC, 27705).
