Ideas needed for 1-night backpacking / fall color tour within 12 hours of southern Indiana
Hi all,
So, was going to go to Dolly Sods this weekend for a kids backpacking trip—something easy to get some younger ones started. Only one night.
Then, was going to take the family and do a fall color tour in eastern WV, Shenandoah, etc., coming back to our home in Southern IN.
Trouble is, looks like the tropical storm remnants are hitting Dolly sods exactly saturday night. All day Sunday looks like a washout.
Am I crazy, or does it sound like a bad idea to do Dolly sods with kids saturday and sunday?
If so, looking for other ideas that are less than, say 10 hours from southern Indiana. Thought about Bruce Peninsula park in Canada, but no backcountry sites available this weekend. Seems to be same with Killarney. Don't really want to go south, as looking for fall color. And want somewhere away from the tropical storm.
