On Friday, September 22nd , we will leave Delaware at an early hour to carpool to Parker Dam State Park where we will leave all but one car. We will then drive one car an hour east to the starting point of the hike where the QT crosses Three Runs Road. The first day will involve about a half day of hiking to cover 6–9 miles (distance will depend on how early we get started). Day 2 will be a full day of hiking covering 10-13 miles and 1500–2000 feet of climb. Day 3 will be another full day covering 13 miles and 1000 feet of climb. To finish up on Monday morning, we will hike the final 4 miles to the end point at Parker Dam State Park. We will then retrieve the car left...
