9 Trails in 9 Miles Lackawanna

Guess who's back.....back again. Melinda and Rob are excited to be hosting hikes for the group.

Hey everyone! 👋
We’re super excited to start hosting our hiking meetups! We’ve been gearing up for this—literally and emotionally—and we’re ready to hit the trails with all of you. 🥾😄
Prepare yourselves for:

• Beautiful views
• Great company
• And us pretending the uphill parts don’t bother us (they absolutely will).

Whether you're experienced hikers or people who measure distance in “episodes of a podcast,” you’re in the right place. We will enjoy the outdoors, and try not to think too hard about how every trail somehow feels uphill both ways.
Also, fair warning: we’ll be making hiking jokes the whole time, such as:

• “Don’t worry, we’ll peak at the right time.”
• “We promise not to take you on a trail that requires emotional support trekking poles.”
• “If anyone gets lost, remember: it’s not wandering—it's ‘exploring with enthusiasm.’”

We can’t wait to get started and hike with all of you! 🌄✨
This will be a moderate hike and we will traverse many of the trails Lackawanna State Park has to offer at a pace of 2.5 to 3 miles an hour. We will climb less than 1000 feet in total elevation and hike 8-9 miles in a figure 8 formation.
