Three day two night itinerary

First Day - Friday

We will meet early Friday afternoon at the trailhead and hike three miles to our first campsite. This will help us lean into the experience without an exhausting first hike. Begin forging strong friendships by the fireside and fall asleep in your tent to the sounds of nature.

Day two - Saturday

Wake up and have a nice breakfast at our campsite. Pack up our gear and head out for our first full day of hiking. Today we will hike about 6 miles crossing gorgeous streams and getting deep into the wilderness away from it all. Our second night of camping will be next to a stream so we can sleep with the flow of water.

Day three - Sunday

Wake up and have a nice breakfast at our campsite. Pack up our gear and head out for our first full day of hiking. Today we will hike about 6 miles crossing gorgeous streams and getting deep into the wilderness away from it all.
