7 Tubs Hike & Swim

On September 13, ten students woke up early to go to the 7 Tubs Nature Area, about an hour’s drive north of Lehigh University. The pandemic forced us to only 2 per car, but drivers and passengers still had lively conversations. After arriving, we regrouped and started off on a ~2 mile hike, much of it by the creek. 

We made the obligatory rest stop at the top of a grassy hill, with a train and power lines in view. Soon after, we found ourselves by the creek again, many of us ready to take a dip. 

The water was brisk, yet the majority of students went down the natural water slides a whole 2 times!

Another exciting trip in the books. This time, we had a remarkable mix of new and experienced Outing Club members.

Spring Break at New River Gorge, WV

During Spring break 2019, 15 undergrads went on a hiking and climbing filled adventure! Led by Sam Seymour & Rob Smith, the group drove 7 hours south to the New River Gorge in West Virginia (and only listened to “Take Me Home, Country Roads” twice – my car at least).

During the week, they went rock climbing in a few different locations (some students went outdoor climbing for the first time!), hiked several miles in different trails, met some dogs, and made new friends.
