***Canceled*** Spruce Knob / Seneca Creek: Intermediate Backpacking

OVERVIEW

Want to catch more of this lovely fall weather? Come join me on a trip to good ole West Virginia!

Spruce Knob / Seneca Creek is one of the top 5 backpacking circuits that you can do on the east coast. It should be PEAK leaf season while we are there! The circuit isn’t too bad, ~17ish miles over two days with pretty low total elevation gain. Because we will have all day Saturday to hike, we will be able to take our time and enjoy the beautiful views that WV has to offer.

** Priority will be given to those who have backpacking experience **
