UTHSC Group Hike November 18th!

Please join the UTHSC Outdoor Recreation Department for a hike in Shelby Forest, Saturday, November 18th at 10am.

Only 40 minutes from Memphis, Meeman-Shelby Forest offers more than 20 miles of trails that wind throughout the park. It is a beautiful resource that provides a wilderness environment you can pack into a day-hike!

Our out-and-back hike will be on the Pioneer Springs Trail to Woodland Trail loop for approximately 6-7 miles of rigorous terrain! We will meet at Shelby Forest 9:45am on Saturday the 18th, and we should be off the trail by 2pm.

Hiking is a rigorous activity!! This is a long hike in relation to other hikes in this program. The skill level is intermediate, targeted for well-conditioned adults who are comfortable hiking 6-7 miles with steep inclines. Prior hiking experience or athletic conditioning is strongly recommended. Please contact us if you wonder if this hike is right for you.

UTHSC does not provide transportation to or from Shelby Forest.

There is no fee to hike. No minors and no dogs, please!
