Advanced Hike! Experienced, Hardcore Hikers Only!*
Beautiful scenery, overlooks, refreshing streams & glens make this rugged, very strenuous hike well worth the effort. On the Kelly's Run/Conestoga Trail, expect a challenge with plentiful rock scrambles/rock hops, stream crossings, & steep ups and downs. We'll break for lunch at House Rock Overlook before exploring Wind Cave further up the trail. Be prepared for "The Bitch", a notoriously strenuous climb, on our way back!
Dogs welcome! Please note in comments in you are planning on bringing your pup so those allergic or uncomfortable around dogs can plan accordingly.
*While this is anticipated to be a fast-paced hike, please expect frequent stops to allow the group to regather and enjoy the scenery. Please be mindful of group unity and adjust your pace accordingly.
