... WINTER HIKE AND BACKPACKING TRIP THIS COMING WEEKEND! FEB 4TH AND 5TH! ...


Here you will find info on our upcoming trips and reports and photos from our most recent trips. We do not have a calendar, because of the nature of our trips (we do the most fun adventures that weather allows) we tend to plan each weekend (and weeknight trip) just a day or two in advance. If you e-mail me, I will put you on our mailing list that I use to send out trip announcements and trip reports. Sometimes I send out alerts that do not appear here.

Upcoming Trips:


Winter Backpack trip!

Hey everybody!  The Allegheny Outdoor Adventure Group will be joining members of the Allegheny Defense Project for a winter camp out!
 
Some of you might want to come out for the day on Saturday or Sunday to enjoy our campfire with us or take a short hike and not camp out. That would be easy since we will be only 1/2 mile into the woods!  A short, easy, flat hike from the parking lot where the cars will be.
 
Tell all you friends who might be interested!  Spread the word! 
 
The temp this weekend will be in the mid to high 30's and lows Saturday night might be about 23 or so!  WARM for early February.
 
Come on out!

Winter Outing 2012

Join Us for a Backpack Hike and Camp at Tracy Ridge February 4!

The purpose of the 2012 Winter Outing is to gain winter camping experience and to enjoy our beautiful winter weather. We will meet at 3PM on February 4, 2012 at a small parking lot just north of the entrance to Tracy Ridge on the west side of Route 321. We plan to break camp by 1PM on February 5, 2012. Please bring all of your own gear and food. See these links for suggestions for gear, food, and behavior in winter conditions: REI, or Backpacker Magazine, or do your own on-line research. A 4-season tent, 0 degree bag, and a "closed cell" sleeping pad are highly recommended. Please feel free to contact Cathy Pedler if you need more information: 814-454-7523, cpedler@alleghenydefense.org

We will be camping in an area adjacent to the old Moses Johnson farm. We can still identify this 1800s farm and explore it today!  We will be camped in a large rock area that is somewhat sheltered from the wind and elements.  The large rock area, behind the Johnson Farm is less than a half mile hike from the parking lot.  If you would like to join us during the day Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning for a fun exploratory hike (or hikes!) in the area, or to enjoy our campfire with us later on Saturday evening, without camping out Saturday night, you would be more than welcome! If we have enough snow, the Johnson farm is a perfect place to snowshoe or cross country ski. The  near-by Tracy Ridge campground (and adjoining Johnson Farm) has an extensive hiking trail system to explore.  So come on out for the day on Saturday, or spend the day and night with us!  We may even do a short after-dark hike on Saturday Night!  Get out of the house and enjoy the outdoors!
