Who?

This is intended as a "Meet & Greet" hike for the crew participating in the Powwow trail clearing trip on September 30th.

If you are interested in joining us for this hike but are not joining the September 30th crew, please see contact information below.

Where?

Meet at the Hartley Nature Center parking lot

3001 Woodland Ave, Duluth, MN 55803

When?

1:00-3:00PM

What?

Wear hiking boots or trail shoes, layers depending on weather. Bring at least one liter of water (you'll need 2 or 3 for the trip) and snacks, along with rain gear and any additional gear you intend to carry on the trail clearing trip in your day pack. We’ll hike various trail loops for around 2 hours.

Important Information:

Safety is our top priority! There will be a brief safety talk and we expect everyone to complete the hike with the group. If you need to be somewhere else, please choose another activity that coincides with your schedule. This is a pet, tobacco, alcohol, and drug free hike.

Why?

A chance to get to know your crew leaders and crew members before the big day! There will also be a mini presentation - ”Preparation for a Wilderness Day Hike” including how/where to start planning a trip, and knowledge sharing from experienced backpackers!

We’ll hike various trail loops for around 2 hours.
