Leader's notes

Any B3 students are welcome to join us.

This will be a relatively easy overnight trip along the Hoh river.

We will hike close to 10 miles each way on fairly flat, shaded terrain along the river. We will aim for a conversational 2mph pace, enjoying the beautiful rainforest on our way to camp. Once at camp, we can relax and explore the beautiful river. We will be at a group camp site with a privy.

Please plan to reimburse the leader $9 for camping reservation fees.

More details will be sent by email to participants.
