Please be prepared for the conditions by wearing proper footwear (boots are advised) and packing extra clothes in your vehicle in case there is a slip and fall in the mud (it happens every year!).  Also- we cannot stress enough to pack what you can carry as the trails will be extremely difficult to traverse with a camp wagon. Although there are carts to use at the camp, the trails to Legion Cabin are steep.



See you there!
