We will be starting at around 10 AM on Saturday, July 26, and begin hiking the Montgomery Bell trail at roughly 11:00 AM and hike until about lunch. After lunch we will continue to hike to Group Camp 2, where we will be staying. There we will set up camp, cook dinner, and stay until morning. After breaking camp and eating breakfast, we will head back to the cars and be back by about 11:00 AM on Sunday, July 27. We will be hiking a little under 11 miles between both days.
Dinner will be provided for Saturday night, but all other meals you will need to bring, including lunch for Saturday and breakfast on Sunday.
You will need your own gear, but we have some gear that can be used. If you are interested in going but not sure if you have what you need or have any questions, feel free to email Seasonal Interpreter Jackson Sutton at the email address provided.
