Mark your calendars and usher in the first day of autumn with the Shenandoah National Park Trust during The Shenandoah Scramble on Sunday, September 22nd.

Hikers of all ability levels are invited to choose one of six guided hikes of varying length and difficulty in Shenandoah National Park. Participants will gather for a light breakfast and then head out to hike with their group and hike leader (each hike can accommodate up to 20 hikers). SNPT leaders are CPR/First Aid or Wilderness Safety certified. They know and love Shenandoah National Park and will provide a wonderful experience. Participants will reconvene for refreshments after their hikes.

Registration is $10 and hikers will agree to raise a minimum of $100, which will support projects and programs in Shenandoah National Park. Registration includes the group breakfast, post-hike refreshments and a Shenandoah Scramble t-shirt. To inspire participants, Shenandoah National Park Trust will be awarding some great outdoor gear, based on the amount of money raised.

Spend a great day in the park and help support the Trust! For more information and to register, visit the Shenandoah Scramble website.

Mark your calendars for September 22, 2012 for the Shenandoah Scramble.

Join over 100 hikers in this one-day hike-a-palooza to support the Shenandoah National Park Trust! Pledge or raise $100 or more and choose from one of 6 great hikes in the park. SNPT will feed you breakfast and present you with a one-of-a-kind Shenandoah Scramble hiking shirt. Then you, your group and your trail guide will head to the park for your day of fun. Hike with your family. Hike with your friends. Just hike! SNPT will award prizes for most money raised; awesome gear from REI, The North Face and other outdoor outfitters. Space is limited and reservations are required. Find out more by contacting Shenandoah National Park Trust at (434) 293-2728 or info@snptrust.org.

This is really a great idea. The Friends of the Smokies and the Great Smoky Mountains Association should look into doing something similar in the Smokies. They could also do a bike ride in Cades Cove on a Saturday morning in order to to raise funds through the cycling community.
