About this Event

Whether you're chasing crisp autumn air, winter serenity, or springtime blooms, each hike offers a new chapter in this epic seasonal saga. It’s not just a walk in the woods—it’s a monthly pilgrimage for trail lovers, nature seekers, and adventure junkies alike.

Challenge yourself. Connect with nature. Be part of the "move"-ment.

🥾Every step tells a story with SCIOTO SATURDAYS! 🥾


From advanced hikers to novice beginners, we are including all levels of ability!

Join us for a series of 6 longer (or 10 shorter) separate Day Hikes as we conquer the 60.7 miles of rolling hills of the Scioto Trail section on the legendary Buckeye Trail. Of these miles, 38.4 are off-road. The Scioto Trail Section traverses portions of Vinton, Hocking, Ross and Pike counties. This section includes some of the legendary foothills of the Appalachians - beautiful southern Ohio hill country. The trail ends up only about 100 ft higher than it starts although it undulates over some 11,200 ft. The BT passes through three state forests - Tar Hollow, Scioto Trail, and Pike State Forests - where the trail is either off-road or on state forest access roads.

✨ Will this be your first step on Ohio’s iconic Buckeye Trail? 🏅 Your first 50 miles crushed? 🎯 Your first section completed? An additional one finished? Or maybe you just enjoy a good hike. Whatever your reason, if you complete the entire section with us, oh, the rewards you will reap, including pride and accomplishment!

🔥 Six hikes. (Or ten shorter hikes.) One epic journey. Are you in?
