This leisurely, river-side walk is a fun way to experience the out-of-doors and learn about the natural world that surrounds us. This program is also a good place to find out more about the people who shaped our past too. Meet at the base of the Pipestem Resort State Park tramway for this 2.0 mile round-trip walk into the Bluestone National Scenic River. Bring $2.00 for the return tram ride.
