WHERE: Miller Trail at Loyalsock State Forest
WHEN: Tuesday, Sept. 22 to Wednesday, Sept. 23
NOTES: Step into the wild with confidence and connection on this overnight backpacking adventure, designed especially for individuals who are visually impaired. With trained human guides supporting participants, we will walk slowly and thoughtfully, exploring gentle, level terrain with senses wide open to our surroundings. We provide all gear, meals and a warm, welcoming atmosphere where safety and belonging come first.
We will be backpacking on the Miller Trail in the Loyalsock State Forest, exploring just a one-half mile of this level, grassy trail to our campsite next to the beautiful Hessler branch (stream). We will have assistance for navigating the trail and camp set up.
Enjoy an evening in the forest where we will enjoy a meal and time around the campfire. Each person will have an individual tent.
Before we hit the trail, join us for a pre-trip Zoom session to meet your guides, ask questions and get excited. Whether you're new to backpacking or a seasoned explorer, this journey is crafted to empower, uplift and inspire. The cost for this trip is reduced to $125 per person.
