Troop 570 High Adventure

2011 • Palisades State Park - South Dakota

In September, 2011, Troop 570 went on a High Adventure trip to Palisades State Park in South Dakota. On this trip, the boys and leaders repelled down the canyon walls. These canyon walls are over 50-foot vertical cliffs. This was quite challenging, and very rewarding for all who participated.

The Scouts went on a  thrilling  canoe trip down Nebraska's Niobrara National Scenic River in June of 2014!

2015 • Rocky Mountain National Park - Colorado

This trip included camping and hiking excursions to: Calypso Cascades, Ouzel Falls, Lilly Like & Twin Sisters trail. The trip culminated by taking the hiking trail to the summit of Long’s Peak, which has an elevation of 14,000+ !

2016 • Philmont Scout Ranch - New Mexico

Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, NM, Scouting’s premier High Adventure base, was our destination in July, 2016. This trip included Amtrak as our source of transportation to & from Philmont. On our trek, the boys and men committed to a very strenuous, but rewarding 12 day trek through the mountain wilderness of northeastern New Mexico. We carried everything with us, and had no contact with civilization. We hiked over 100 miles total.  Highlights included: Hiking Baldy Mountain & climbing Little Costilla Peak (both over 12,000 elevation). We also participated in living history - such living in a 19th century logging community, and working on rebuilding the Cimarron and Northwestern Railroad. 

2017 • National Scout Jamboree - West Virginia

In July, 2017, several scouts attended the National Scout Jamboree at The Summit Bechtel Scout Reserve in West Virginia. Over 40,000 scouts from throughout the U.S. attended all or part of this 10-day event. Just a few of the activities included: meeting an astronaut, trading patches, & attending an evening outdoor concert. The experience of being among all these fellow scouts was one for the ages and will be remembered for a lifetime. This two week trip also encompassed side trips to historic Harper’s Ferry, WV, Washington, D.C., Monticello, Gettysburg Battlefield National Park, and hiking the AT (Appalachian Trail) in Virginia, which included a hike up to the crest of Humpback Rock. 

2018 • Cherokee National Forest - Tennessee

In 2018 the Troop took a trip to SE Tennessee.  On the way there and back the Troop camped and completed a service project at Scott AFB, just outside of St. Louis, Mo.  The Troop camped on Chilhowee Mountain in Cherokee National Forest  One day was spent white water rafting on the Ocoee River, which was the highlight of the trip (see the photo).  Another day included hiking to  nearby Benton Falls and swimming at  the lake near our campsite. Ziplining through the trees was the highlight of another day.  The most challenging day was when we hiked from the Beech Bottom Trailhead in Tennessee to Jack's River Falls in Georgia.
