Info on the 2008 Trip!

The Gateway Council is sponsoring A backpacking trip on the Ozark Trail. The Dates are Sat  Oct. 11th to Sat Oct. 18 (half week trips are available)We will Back Pack 30 miles of the Current River section and 20 miles of the Between the River Section. Join us as we celebrate our 20th year of promoting the Ozark Trail through our Backpacking adventure.

Explore the beauty of the Ozark Trail on this seven
day walk through southern Missouri. Participants will
encounter spectacular scenery, cool nights and warm
days. We will travel through the diverse natural
communities that make the central Ozarks a unique
area. Beaver dams, deer, turkey, red-tailed hawks and
wild flowers are frequently seen. Imagine cooling
your feet in crystal clear waters or relaxing by a
warm fire on a moonlit night. The first hint of fall
colors will be appearing and sleep will be serenaded
by Barred owls.

Cost for the trip is $125.00 for a full week and
$65.00 for a half week ($135.00 and $70.00 for
non-memebers). Included are transportation from St.
Louis, trail shuttle, experienced leaders, Ozark Trail
patch, maps, information packet, and the evening meal
on Saturday, October 11 th. The motel is also included
if you're backpacking the entire week. A $50.00 deposit
is required and the balance is due by the deadline of
October 1st. After October 1st, a late fee of $10.00
will be charged. Hostelling International is a
non-profit organization.

The difficulty of this trip is variable as all types
of terrain are covered. We will average 7-8 miles
each day for a total of 50 miles. The number of
participants is limited and we recommend that you
register early. Participants can drive separately to
the trailhead. We will have a midweek break on
Wednesday evening and go to a motel after finishing
the first section. We will start the second section
on Thursday morning. Anyone going for a half week is
responsible for their own transportation.
