About this Event
View mapJoin UTOP for a Fall Break backpacking trip in Grayson Highlands and Mt. Rogers in southwest Virginia. The trip is all inclusive, and your registration includes all food, gear, guides and tranportation. We'll spend 3 days and two nights traversing Mt. Rogers National recreation area, beginning and ending in Grayson Highlands State Park (home of some adorable wild ponies.) Expect 6-9 miles per day of hiking throughout the trip, with everything we need to thrive split amoung the group in our packs. There will be an hour long pretrip meeting one evening the week of the trip, where we'll go over the trip, outfit everyone for gear, and get to know each other a bit. Never backpacked before? No worries, this trip is beginner friendly, and we will teach you everything you need to know to have a great trip.
