Pack Hike at Castlewood State Park
Date: 10/19/08
Time: 12:00PM - 3:00PM
Location: Catlewood State Park
Plan to meet at Picnic area #1 at noon on Sunday October 19th. After lunch we will head out on the River Scene trail (see details of the trail below). There is an option to take a shorter loop avoiding the climb to the spectacular views from the bluffs. Please wear your uniform shirts. Bluejeans are fine. If you ordered a class B uniform, these shirts will be distributed on Sunday. If you did not order a shirt, there are some more shirts available for purchase.
River Scene Trail (red arrows)
This three-mile loop is the most spectacular trail in the park and highlights the park’s most memorable features. The trail climbs to and then traverses a series of bluffs overlooking the Meramec River. It then goes down a long wood staircase that takes you from the top of the bluffs to the valley below. From there, the trail takes you through an up-close and personal look at the river and the bottomland surrounding it. Along the way, you will pass panoramic vistas, remnants of the historic resort era and floodplain forest. This trail is designated for hiking and bicycling (hiking only on the bluff portion).
