We will do an out and back hike north on the NCT. It is about 2 miles to go to Beaver Run area and back or 10.4 miles for those that want to hike to the Queen Creek shelter and back. We’ll also pass the Coalbed Run campsite. The length of the hike can be adjusted based on the desires of the participants.
Please come prepared for the hike dressed in appropriate layers for the weather, and carrying your own food and water. Friendly dogs are welcome. Be sure to wear safety flourescent orange, including any dogs, since it is the fall hunting season. We hope to see you down the trail.
