SUMMARY:Cataloochee Valley (Great Smoky Mountains NP\, NC)
DESCRIPTION:Date: Saturday\, August 29\, 2026 \nLocation: Cataloochee Valley\, Great Smoky Mountains NP\, NC \n\nMeeting Time: 10:00 am – to 4:00 pm\nMeeting Spot: We will meet at Ingles Grocery in the parking lot area behind their gas station. The address is 153 Smokey Park Hwy\, Asheville\, 28806 (GPS coordinates 35.5649\, -82.6290).\n\nDescription: We will explore the meadows of the Cataloochee Valley in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. \nTarget Species: Diana Fritillary\, American Copper\, and more. \nNotes: Walking is easy at all the stops and there is a good chance of seeing wild Elk. There are also several pre-park structures to explore including a homestead and barn that attracts Swallowtail puddle parties. Entrance to the park is free\, but a parking tag is required for a fee. If you don’t want to carpool with someone who already has a tag\, you can buy one from the automatic fee machine on the road in ($5 for the day). It’s a long\, winding drive with no cell service\, gas stations\, or bathrooms\, but well worth the drive. Please bring water\, a pack lunch\, binoculars\, cameras and field guides. Sunscreen\, bug spray\, long pants and close-toed shoes are highly recommended. \nTrip Leader: Gail Lankford \nLodging & Dining Recommendations: N/A \nSign-up: Please contact Gail Lankford (whocooksforyou64@gmail.com) AND Heather Rayburn (rayburnh@icloud.com) if you are planning to attend. Be sure to include your phone number. You can also register by using the “Register” link above. \nDirections: N/A \nIf you’re coming from out of town and want to do a second day of butterflying\, we can arrange to go out on Sunday to another location as well. Just let us know. Registration cut-off date is August 17.
