Beginner/intermediate backpacking to Savage Gulf.
SUMMARY 🟢🟡

~10 miles, ~1000’ elevation
DEPART: 7AM Sat 5/23
RETURN: ~2PM Sun 5/24
COST: $31/Scout, $15/Adults
ELECTRONICS REMINDER 📱🕹️
One of the great benefits of heading out on any of our trips is that we’re able to unplug from our digital world for a few days. Electronics are allowed while traveling to our destinations, but we have a longstanding rule that Scouts are not allowed to use electronics while on our trips (i.e. if brought they’ll be left in vehicles and not used during the trip).
ITINERARY
This is an “out-and-back” hike where we’ll hike about 5 miles in to the Meadow Creek Campground on Saturday, and hike back out the same way on Sunday. Along the way we’ll hike around the top of Savage Falls (this is a pretty impressive waterfall when the water is flowing).
This is on the more challenging side of a “beginner” trip, but it should be doable for everyone.
There is room for up to 30 people total on this trip. Registration will initially be set for 15 Scouts and 5 adults, with the last 10 slots being allocated as needed. Depending on final registration numbers we may hike as 2 or 3 separate crews to keep group size on the trail manageable.
