** RELOCATED TO HOH RIVER TRAIL TO FIVE MILE ISLAND **

See the trip description at this link:

http://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/hoh-river

We will hike at a slow to medium pace and camp at or near Five Mile Island.  Participants should have all 10 essentials, especially tent, filter, and stove.  There are several fallen trees which we will have to climb over.  Participants should check their email for important trip notifications.

 These field trips are designed to give B3 students the opportunity to try out gear and new skills with only fellow B3 students on an easy to moderate overnight backpack with an experienced mentor.  While this trip can count toward your B3 graduation requirement, they are not meant to be your primary backpack trips to that requirement - many more backpack trips will be scheduled through the season for you to join and complete your 3 required trips.
