Pre-trip Happy Hour (optional): The day before the trip there will be an option to attend a happy hour where we can discuss details, meet each other, and ask any questions you might have. It is not a requirement to attend but nice to meet before.
Day 1: We'll gather in the morning where we will learn how to properly pack our bags, divide group gear, and discuss the route before carpooling out to the trailhead. We will stop for a pastry or light snack along the way. Expect around 6-7 miles to our destination, then we'll set up camp, connect, and settle into nature.Day 2: Wake up at your own pace with time to journal, read, or just relax before we head back to the cars. We'll stop somewhere in town for lunch before parting ways.
