Join Greg Park, Greg Moore, & J.L. Cook for the third installment of Mayhem in the Mountains. On this leg of the Mayhem experience, you’ll find yourself atop North Fork Mountain for an all day hike along what very well may be West Virginia’s prettiest trail, an evening of music at the Purple Fiddle, and a Sunday morning excursion capturing and studying timber rattlesnakes and northern copperheads.
The physical difficulty of the weekend is moderate to strenuous. Participants should bring appropriate clothing (including footwear) for an all day hike, tent, sleeping bag, & water bottle. Remember it can get quite cold at night.
Cost for Mayhem in the Mountains is $150.00 per participant or $120.00 for Oglebay Institute members.
