Hare Mountain Hike-in ’22

17 Oct Hare Mountain Hike-in ’22

Saturday, November 5, 2022 is the start of this year’s two-day Hare Mountain Hike-In, a commemoration of the 1981 birth of the Ozark Highlands Trail Association. Last year’s event was attended by about 34 avid hikers, and we’re hoping attendance this year will be even greater.

If you want to be a part of 2022’s special occasion, there are multiple locations from which to start your hike. However, the spot closest to where everyone will camp on Hare Mountain is the Hare Mountain/Morgan Fields trail head (can be located on the Ozark Highlands Trail – West map). From there it is a mere 1.7 mile hike to the top.

This year’s Hike-In will include a potluck dinner on Saturday at 6 p.m.followed by a short meeting around the campfire, so please remember to bring something tasty to contribute to the feast. There is plenty of room to camp, but be sure to pack in all the water you will need. Come one, come all as this is a perfect opportunity to introduce someone who is new to hiking to the spectacular beauty of the Ozark mountains and the unparalleled experience of primitive camping.
