  We're heading to Sky Meadows State Park for a moderate 5+ mile loop hike including on the Appalachian Trail. We'll meander across or around the gentle rolling meadows and woodlands taking in the pastoral views.

  Our hike coincides with Fall Farm Days' Rest and Rejuvenation Weekend at Sky Meadows, which will feature "a variety of guided and self-guided programs to help you reconnect with nature, unplug, unwind, and rejuvenate through recreation." After we're finished, we may want to check out some of the special activities such as geocaching, blacksmith demonstrations, tours of Mount Bleak House and live music. And did we mention s'mores?
  

  Sky Meadows charges a $10 per vehicle entrance fee.

  This event is open to members and non-members of Women Outdoors. Non-members are welcome to attend two WO activities before joining Women Outdoors. Of course, you can join us right now by clicking on this Join Us link.
