Description: Overnight on the Gizzard: Ravens Point Hike Edition
Location: Fiery Gizzard State Park
Meet Ranger Hannah at the Fiery Gizzard North Trailhead where we will begin the exciting 9-mile adventure to Ravens Point and back to the Grundy Forest Campground!
The hike will begin at 8:00AM at the Fiery Gizzard North Trailhead. We will then hike the 0.6miles to the campground, set up camp, and then hit the trail for a great day of hiking! We will wrap up day back at the campground to relax by the campfire.
This hike will go through the Fiery Gizzard gorge which is 4miles of strenuous terrain due to the rocky trail and steep elevation gains. Participants will need to dress accordingly for the weather.
Camping meals will be provided for dinner and breakfast the following morning. Participants are more than welcome to bring their own food should they prefer.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own gear. We can provide equipment if needed (tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, & backpack). These items are for those who need them and will be on a first come first serve basis.
Once all the registration spots are full there will be a brief online meeting to discuss details and any concerns.
