Long Trail Hiking Discussion Panel
March 13 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
FreeAre you curious about section or thru hiking a long trail? Join us at Arrow Adventure to learn from a panel that has experience “hiking their own hike” on a variety of trails – from Ohio’s own Buckeye Trail, all the way to the Pacific Crest Trail. We’ll have a moderated chat where you’ll hear stories from the trails and get tips to help you become mentally, physically and gear-ready for a successful hike. Beer, wine and non-alcoholic drinks available for purchase! Feel free to bring in food from a neighboring restaurant for dinner.
