SUMMARY:North Country Hiking Fest: Take on the Challenge\, 10th Annual
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Itasca State Park for a day packed full of family friendly and healthy activities focusing on the National North Country Trail. This is a perfect day to take a hike! Are you brave enough to take on the challenge? This year we celebrate 10 years by hiking the entire length of the North Country Trail in Itasca State Park. Our 10.6 mile hiking challenge will begin at the western access point on the Anchor Matson Road and hike across the entire width of the park\, where we will conclude near Highway 71. (refer to Maps 12 thru 14\, pages 104- 116 of the "Guide to the North Country National Scenic Trail in Minnesota").\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nFor those short on time or not wanting to hike the challenge\, join us in the afternoon for hiking tips and a chance to make your own hiking stick during our Hiking 101 program. Learn tips about hiking while you design your own hiking staff. We will then try them out on the trail as we hike a 2 mile loop along the bike trail to Preacher's Grove and along Brower Trail.\n\n \n\nGather together for a picnic meal (fee) followed by an evening special presentation.\n\n \n\n More details will be available closer to the date.
