On-the-Trail Breakfast Tasting
Enjoy a Hike, Stove Demo and Food Tasting!
8:30 AM - FREE, reservations required
Twin Creek MetroParks Yellow Trail (2.9 miles)
Are you starting to get cabin fever after staying inside all winter? Join Great Miami Outfitters on Saturday, January 30th at 8:30 AM for a morning hike and breakfast tasting. On our 2.9 mile hike at Twin Creek Metropark, we'll be demonstrating stoves as we prepare on-the-trail tastings of pancakes, eggs and coffee for breakfast! As if a brisk morning hike were not enough, you'll get the chance to see a liquid stove, a canister stove, a Jetboil and an alcohol stove in action, cooking your breakfast right in front of your eyes. The hike and tasting are FREE, but you need to sign up to reserve a spot for the hike. We will follow the yellow trail off of the trail head at 9688 Eby Road, Germantown Ohio. Call us for reservations or more information.
Please dress for the weather. You may want to bring water and an extra pair of shoes to change into after the hike. Some trails may be wet or muddy. Outdoor activities may require some strenuous exercise, so participants must acknowledge their own abilities and skills and are responsible for their own safety and comfort.
