Beginner Backpacking Overnighter - Richfield Heritage Preserve

If you've never backpacked before but always wanted to try, this is an easy, no-fail way to get the experience of what it means to backpack. And the best part is - it is VERY close to home.

We meet at 1pm, ready to step off, and backpack to our campsite. Plan on hiking between 2-3 miles to the site as we work our way around RHP. We will setup our tents, prep the fire, (wood is provided so we only need to source kindling). After setup - we can relax - make a good lunch - and then maybe hike some more. If you need gear to make it through the night - just ask - we can assist. In the morning, we wake up at leisure, quick breakfast and then hike back to our cars.

There are numerous miles of hiking opportunities, two lakes and so much to see. The fall colors should be peak as well.

There is a Giant Eagle next to the entrance of our camping adventure - so you can grab last minute food before stepping off.

There is a rustic latrine at our site as well as a group shelter area for our use & for cooking.

I'm not sure how many people we can have on the site - so this is a first come, first served. The cost is $15 pp for the site cost & to support the WA group.

This opportunity is as supported as backpacking is going to get - so if you've ever wanted to try it - now is the time!!!
