Elevation and Topography to be held June 21 and 22

PENINSULA, Ohio, March 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Conservancy for Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) will welcome guests to an extraordinary evening in the park when it hosts Elevation on June 21 and Topography on June 22. Both events are at iconic Indigo Lake, located off Riverview Road. Proceeds go toward the Trails Now Fund, which provides support for trail maintenance, visitor amenities, and new trailheads within Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Since the events began more than 12 years ago, Topography and Elevation have raised nearly $1.4 million for the park's more than 125 miles of trails.

"Our signature fundraisers, Elevation and Topography, are each a one-of-a-kind experience for people to come together and support the trails we love in our national park," said Dan Blakemore, vice president of philanthropy, for the Conservancy for CVNP. "We look forward to seeing you at these memorable events to enjoy time with good friends, great food, scenic views of Indigo Lake, live music, and campfires under the stars."
