What we’re about
This new meetup (starting Jan 2022) is a networking group for backpackers. Whether you are an experienced thru-hiker or a curious beginner, join us. We will get together socially to talk trails and gear. We will also plan a short overnight shakedown backpacking trip in the spring along with some multi-day trips later in the year. Backpacking is more fun with a few friends and logistically it is much easier with multiple cars, etc. If you are interested in getting out backpacking and make some some adventurous friends, come join us!

See all- Black Forest Trail Backpacking OvernightTiadaghton State Forest Parking, Lock Haven, PA
This will be a medium difficulty overnight trip on the Black Forest trail in Pennsylvania. This trail is know for it's views.
While the full 42 mile loop trail is considered one of PA's most difficult trails, we will only be doing a fairly easy 13mi section (7mi on Sat, 6 mi on Sun) with not a lot of elevation gain but still with a few nice views.

I you want to go on this trip, sign-up for the waiting list, then attend on of the planning meetings (to be scheduled). After we have met you, you can be moved from the waitlist to attending.
I hope you can join me in the backcountry
NOTE: There may also be a smaller group of us doing the full difficult 42 mi loop, starting on Thursday and meeting up with the main group Sat to finish together. Tell me at a meeting is you are interested in this much harder route (4 days: 13min,13mi,10mi,6mi)
