Last Hurrah Finals Backpacking!!

OVERVIEW

Mitch and I are about to graduate, and somehow neither of us have been to elliot’s knob? Also, I still have never been on any ODC backpacking trip! So come hang with us and come backpacking to Elliot’s Knob!
Its an 8.3 out-and-back trail with some pretty good elevation gain of 2400 feet so it is no joke! But we will take our time and be fine 🙂

Friday:
8:00(or whatever time we want to wake up at)-chill and get ready to hike back
