Fall Break Backpacking (Advanced) - Appalachian Trail, Highland Cows, & More!

--Fall Break Overnight Trip to Virginia with the Wilderness Society--

(Trip Leaders: Alison Solik)
Anyone interested in attending, register here for a spot on the trip. The signups will remain open for entries until 10/6 at 11:59pm. Students will be selected to go shortly after and those not selected will be added to a waitlist. The price of this trip is $50, and $40 for drivers. Students selected off of the waitlist who receive spots will have 48 hours to accept and pay before their spot will be offered to someone else from the waiting list. No refunds will be given to students who cancel.

We are aiming to bring 12 people on this trip (3 cars with about 4 people in each). Anyone who has a car and is willing to drive will have the $10 off the cost of the trip and be reimbursed for gas. If you are able to drive, please consider signing up as a driver (below)! In the past, we've had to limit the number of students we bring on trips based on drivers, and we are hoping to make this trip accessible to as many students as possible.

We will be leaving Friday (10/16) afternoon and driving about 7 hours. We will be camping at a campsite in Grayson Highlands State Park that night. Saturday-Tuesday will we be hiking throughout the Virginia Highlands and Appalachian Trail, camping at sites/shelters on the AT. We will be hiking between 12-15 miles each day with significant elevation gain while enjoying incredible views, wildlife, and fall colors. Tuesday (10/20) we will return to campus in the evening. It is expected that you are physically fit and have experience hiking/backpacking. We will provide any gear you do not have.

This trip is only available to CWRU undergraduate students. Feel free to reach out to afs78@case.edu with any questions.
