Virtual Meet & Greet
Day 1:
Meet at the trailhead mid-morning. After a quick orientation and group check-in, hike 2.5–3.5 miles along a scenic, flat trail beside the Snake River. Set up camp near the historic Preist Ranch and have a delicious backcountry lunch! No freeze-dried meals here!
Those with more energy can take a guided, 6 miles round trip hike (3 there, 3 back) to a field of petroglyphs. In the evening, share a group meal, followed by reflection, making new friends or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Day 2:
Wake up to a quiet morning and enjoy a relaxed breakfast together. Pack up camp and hike back to the trailhead, aiming to finish by early afternoon.
