Why: Meetup Fees
This Meetup is for fellow backpackers to meet and greet while engaging in day hikes, and backpacking trips. Meet other people in your town interested in backpacking. Talk about locations, equipment, recipes, etc., and find people to take trips with. Trips will range from beginner level to more advanced to accommodate all level of backpacker and hiker and to encourage those who wish to grow with the sport. There is always new gear to discuss, dream about and ogle over so come on down and join in the discussion around the campfire.
In the past we have done the following events so keep an eye out for more upcoming events:
1. Introduction to Winter Backpacking
2. Holiday Hike Series with the Gold Mine Loop, Difficult Run and Christmas Tree lights
3. Bring in the New Year with a Bonfire at Assateague Island National Seashore, MD
4. Lets go Snowshoeing!!

Please note that this trail, from its description, is strenuous. Those with difficulty with steep incluines and rocky terrain may want to sit this one out.
From the website: this is the sister hike of Raven Rocks. Read more
