ITINERARY

This trip is an ideal trip for first time backpackers. In addition to hiking and camping on the beautiful Latimer Reservation, we’ll learn and practice the core fundamentals of backpacking. Saturday we’ll hike a little over 3 miles to their backcountry campsite, and Sunday a little under 2 miles back out - with gentle elevation throughout. The hiking trail at Latimer is in the heart of some of the most popular sites for hiking and camping in the state - it’s just across the gorge from the Virgin Falls State Natural Area, and just north of Fall Creek Falls State Park.
Each participant must have a signed, completed Health Form and Parental Informed Consent and Hold Harmless Release Agreement (attached above).
