Start your day with a hike through meadow areas and then into the woods edge at Kellys Run Nature Preserve. We will traverse an old roadway down to the water, then hike through the ravine, crossing the water several times while following the stream. Experience the change in temperature and sunlight between the higher elevation at the parking area to the waterway in the ravine. Discussion will include the microclimate that occurs in this glen (and others in the Susquehanna Riverlands) that allows for large rhododendron groves. If desired, bring a packed lunch that can be enjoyed at the picnic tables upon completion of the hike.
What to Expect: 
This hike is approximately 4 miles in total distance with significant elevation changes. The hike surface will vary from soft grassy pathways to rocky areas that require some scrambles. The trail has several water crossings, and hiking poles are highly recommended. There is a port-a-john available on site. This hike is recommended for adults.
What to Bring
: 
Sturdy, closed toe shoes are highly recommended. Bring water and a snack. Binoculars are optional. Hiking poles are strongly recommended.
