Log-In
WWO Annual Picnic in Rock Creek Park. Take advantage of the location to hike, cycle or walk on traffic-free Beach Drive or on a path in the woods. Something for everyone plus great food and conversation.
Join us for our always fun Annual Anniversary Picnic and help us celebrate another great year. This year, we're holding the event in Rock Creek Park which means you might want to go for a bicycle ride, hike or walk in the park before the picnic. If you’ve never joined us before, this is a great opportunity to meet other women who enjoy the outdoors and learn what WWO is all about. Barbecue and drinks will be provided, but we invite you to bring a salad, side dish or dessert to share. We have reserved a covered pavilion, so this is a rain or shine event.
After you complete your registration, you will receive a confirmation email with additional event details and location.
Please register early. Registration fee includes a WWO string backpack. (You must attend to receive the backpack.)
This 6.0 mile trip suitable for beginner backpackers and above.
Experience the beauty of West Virginia's Dolly Sods Wilderness on this beginner-friendly, one-night backpacking adventure to Rohrbaugh Plains. This trip offers an incredible reward with relatively little mileage, making it an excellent introduction to backpacking for those looking to build confidence on the trail.
We'll hike approximately 3 miles from the trailhead through the unique landscapes of the Monongahela National Forest before reaching the stunning Rohrbaugh Cliffs. There, we'll enjoy sweeping views of the Red Creek Valley and some of the most spectacular scenery Dolly Sods has to offer.
After taking in the views, we'll continue to a nearby backcountry campsite where we'll settle in for the evening and, weather permitting, watch the sun set over the wilderness. Along the way, participants will gain experience with backpacking fundamentals, including packing, camp setup, trail travel, and Leave No Trace practices.
While the terrain is generally moderate, the wilderness environment provides a true backpacking experience in one of the Mid-Atlantic's most unique and scenic destinations. Whether this is your first backpacking trip or you're looking for a short overnight getaway, Rohrbaugh Plains is the perfect place to begin your backpacking journey.
