Planning a trip across the country can seem like a large undertaking, and it can be. However, after this program, you’ll be primed and ready to start planning your own adventure out West. Using his experiences as the guide, Recreation Specialist Dan Sahli will provide you with the information about out West adventure that you seek. In addition to planning a trip out West, you’ll learn pointers about taking the whole family (including the 20-month-old!), making your vehicle adventure ready, and lodging options at various National Parks. You’ll also learn that the entire trip isn’t always Instagram worthy (you have to do laundry!), but there will be plenty of beautiful photos to enjoy and pointers and locations given that you’ll want to jot down to include on your next adventure. Families and individuals are both encouraged to attend. We’ll have time for questions, so come prepared.

Then, journey closer to Cleveland exploring the 20+ mile Lake Erie Water Trail. Learn how it can be broken into sections or paddled all at once! They’ll even show you a few highlights from other paddling trips such as paddling to the Cleveland Crib (Water Intake) and paddling on the Cuyahoga River Water Trail. You won't believe the number of paddling opportunities available in and around Northeast Ohio that won’t eat multiple tanks of gas or require a flight.
