Join the ORC as we backpack a scenic section of the Appalachian Trail, stretching through Carver's Gap and the Roan Highlands in Tennessee. This region is a personal favorite amongst many of our trip leaders! The trail is filled with lots of wildlife and vegetation and offers 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains. Moderate terrain and slow inclines make up the trail, making this a perfect trip for people of all skill levels and hiking experience. Participants will also get to learn many different outdoor skills such as water purification, fire building, and back country cooking. We look forward to experiencing this trip and hope to see you outside!
