A Moore County Trail Guide

Sandhills on Foot

Explore Moore County, NC trails with this beautifully illustrated guide featuring local hiking paths, wildlife, native plants, and Sandhills natural wonders.

Discover the natural beauty of Moore County through Sandhills on Foot, a beautifully illustrated trail guide featuring lyrical copy by North Carolina writer and naturalist Mark Caskie and original illustrations by artist Janis Dougherty.

Inspired by the spirit of Pinecone Pathways, the guide invites readers to slow down, look closely and discover the wildlife, plants and hidden treasures found along our local trails—from towering longleaf pines and rare red-cockaded woodpeckers to fox squirrels and blooming pyxie-moss.

Part field guide, part work of art, it’s an invitation to wander, explore and experience the Sandhills in a whole new way.
