Elevation and Topography to be held June 16 and 17

PENINSULA, Ohio, Feb. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Conservancy for Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) will welcome guests to an unparalleled evening in the park when it hosts Elevation on June 16 and Topography on June 17. This year, both events will be held at a new location within CVNP: iconic Indigo Lake, located off Riverview Road in the heart of the park. Proceeds from both events will support the Trails Now Fund, which provides immediate assistance for trail maintenance and priority trail projects in CVNP. Since the events began more than 11 years ago, Topography and Elevation have raised nearly $1.3 million for the park's more than 125 miles of trails.

"Elevation and Topography bring people together for a one-of-a-kind evening in our national park," said Laura Pulliam, event chair for Topography. "What could be better than taking in the scenic view of Indigo Lake while listening to amazing live music and indulging in gourmet food prepared by one of the region's leading chefs? This is an opportunity to show support for the Conservancy and its work to provide immediate assistance for trail projects within CVNP while enjoying a unique evening under the stars."
