Sunday Moormans River Trail Loop

OVERVIEW

Hello everyone! I had an amazing adventure last Sunday, and thought I’d shoot for 2 in a row! This one is definitely quite challenging, coming in at 17.6 miles and 3,156 feet of elevation gain…Quite a lot of mileage, so the elevation gain will probably be diffused throughout, but it’ll definitely be an endurance hike :-0… I have a NP park pass and a vehicle, so all you have to bring are your amazing selves! The weather looks good at the moment, we should be in the mid 40’s with overcast skies, so maybe pants and a jacket(I would be ready to shed layers as we get warmed up though)? Also, this trail apparently boasts swimming holes…I expect the water will be quite cold, so I can’t promise swimming will be *hot tub* temperatures, but it is an option if you like cold water dips. No pressure ofc, I have my own reservations…
I will select people off the waitlist randomly approximately 24 hours after it is posted, to try and make things a little more fair. Have a great week everyone 🙂

Suggested Materials:
-Pants and Jacket for potential cooler weather
-Snack/s
-Optional: Hiking Shoes(Probably very helpful for a hike of this length, however)
-Optional: Swimming Attire?!(If you do decide to bring this, a towel)
-IMPORTANT: Water-Like a lot, probably twice your body weight…jk but I would recommend at least 64 oz, and probably more if you can carry it. I’ll bring extra just in case though
