Where to Hike in August: Featured Group Hikes with KTA Club Members

7/20/2023

 
PictureThese events total 60+ miles of hiking!
Thanks to our KTA members, August is full of guided hiking opportunities throughout PA! There are dozens to choose from, so be sure to check your local hiking group's website or social media for a full list of upcoming events. 

Why hike in a group?
Jeffrey, member and KTA representative of the Lancaster Hiking Club, says, "One of the things I like about group hiking is the knowledge I've gained over the years: knowledge about such myriad  topics as what to pack/what not to pack, identifying fauna and flora, what's new in hiking gear, how to take care of myself when I"m in the woods, and getting to places that I may not have visited before and or even heard of.  I like the feeling of safety I feel when I hike with experienced hikers, because if I have an accident or medical situation I'll have plenty of help.  Someone always has a bandage or an aspirin in their pack.  And of course, there's the camaraderie and life-long friendships."

  • Sunday, August 6 - Night Hike, 4 Miles (with Standing Stone Trail Club)
