Join the award-winning SWANNANOA VALLEY RIM EXPLORER™ HIKING SERIES! Rim Hike \#8 is Walker’s Knob. This peak \(elevation 5,482 feet\) was named after North Fork’s Walker family, one of the early families to settle in the upper North Fork valley. The Walkers owned much of the land and were engaged in timber and logging. Along this trail are giant hemlocks, lichen and moss-covered rocks, stretches of beech forest, surround by spectacular views. This 4-mile, moderate hike begins at Balsam Gap and
