St. Paddy's Day Bigfoot Hike
Details
4-mile (total) out-n-back beginning at the Wampum train station and heading west. Rated: Moderate
This counts towards the 2024 Wampam Chapter hiking Challange.
After a short road walk (.5 mile), we'll head into the woods on the NCT in search of Bigfoot - one of the most elusive hikers around.
The trail will take us into the Mines and Meadows area and, on top of the former limestone mines, now Wampum Underground storage facility. Along the route, we'll also pass an NCT hiker shelter.
Upon reaching the Mines and Meadows Campground, we will turn back towards Wampum where we will have a variety of homemade soups to warm our belly.
Parking is available at the Wampum Depot Train Station (303 Main St. Wampum, PA 16157).
Remember to bring drinking water, proper footwear, and dress for the weather.
