Members-only
Trail Ambassador Training Hike
This hike is for members who want to learn more about the Trail Ambassador program, those who are interested in becoming a Trail Ambassador and current Trail Ambassadors who simply want to refresh their knowledge before the 2025 season. During this hike, we will go over:
- How to prepare for a patrol
- What a Trail Ambassador should have in their pack
- The 7 Principles of Leave No Trace
- Using Authority of the Resource to help hikers learn about LNT
- How to be safe while on patrol
- Protocols for removing trash and abandoned gear
- Techniques for fire pit rehabilitation
We will hike up the Slaughter Creek Trail to the Appalachian Trail and on to the summit of Blood Mountain. This is a 4.2 mile in and out hike with 1300′ in elevation gain. Our pace will be slow as we will be stopping frequently to talk and make observations.
