NRGE 2021: Helios Hellos – Grandview Sunrise

OVERVIEW

If you haven’t guessed from the title of this trip, I have been reading the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan. Whether you believe that Helios pulls the sun across the sky with a Pegasus drawn chariot or that dumb stuff that Copernicus came up with, this trip is for you.

This is a super chill sunrise trip to the Grandview area, there is an overlook right behind the visitor center with excellent eastern views of the gorge that make for an awesome sunrise. Since I plan on sending it hard on some day trips and want to be back relatively early this trip is just for the sunrise and won’t really include much hiking but if enough people sign up and some of the cars want to stay and explore that is chill too.

The Plan:
– 6:40 Gather together
– 6:45 Depart from Ray’s Campground
– 7:45 Arrive at Grandview Visitor Center
– 7:55 Watch the sunrise
– 8:20 Depart from Visitor Center
– 9:20 Arrive back at Ray’s Campground and prepare for full sends

What To Bring:
– Warm Clothing
– Water
– Snacks/food

General NRGE Info:
If you are added to this adventure you NEED to join the main carpool adventure. That is where rides to and from the campground are organized, it is also important that you read that entire trip description as it has important information about food, camping arrangements, etc. I put the fee as $0 for this adventure but keep in mind that the cost of NRGE is $10

DRIVERS NEEDED, Drivers will get priority off of the waitlist and some sort of reimbursement/tip although I am not 100% certain how that works for NRGE.
