Backpacking on mountainous terrain takes preparartion. Cliffs of the Neuse State Park is home to a variety of hills and unique elevation changes. Bring your backpacks and hike approximately three miles. This would be a good way to get tips from an experienced backpacker and try out new boots and gear. Meet at the museum.
