I am pleased to announce a new event, a loop hike in Harriman State Park. The main hike will be 4 to 5 miles, around a nice lake and surrounding area, with some climbing and scenic views. We will also have part of the hike along the Appalachian Trail, where we may see some through hikers from Georgia  on their way to Maine! If there is enough interest we may offer a longer 8+ mile hike also..

 

Hiking Details & Options  - Main (5mi) and Longer Hike (8+ Mi)

 

1. Main Hike - The main hike, which I will lead,  is about 5 miles long.  It’s a solid moderate hike, about 5 to 6 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Here is a description of most of this hike

2. Longer Hike Option - If  there enough interest, we  may have a longer hike option, with some more hiking along the  Appalachian Trail, some additional views, a visit to a swamp and some ruins, This will be an 8+ mile hike, a moderate to strenuous hike, with a rating of an 8 to 9 on the scale of 10, given that this is during the warmer months...

 

 

If you want to go on the longer hike, let me know on the rsvp form, but not guarantees so assume you will be on the main hike unless I tell you otherwise!

After the hikes, we will all have a light pareve and dairy dinner together.

 

Rain

 

Moderate rain in the forecast will cancel this event, though if its just scattered showers we may run this event.

 

Children

 

 If you have children that are able to easily walk 5 miles without tiring, then you are welcome to bring them but please consult with me about this after signing up to make sure the children are up to the hike. Cost per child $5.

 

Rides

 

I will  try and arrange rides, but this is often the most difficult part of running my events. I hope to do this differently this time where  I will send out  a list of drivers and where they are leaving from and you will be responsible to call and arrange your ride. If you want a ride, sign up early, since I want to send out the list of drivers out twice, once to those who register this week, and once after the deadline - the sooner you sign up, the more likely you are to get a ride.

 

Drivers will be reimbursed for the trip, at a rate of $15 per passenger, depending on how many passengers you take. We do check with the drivers, so please pay them promptly upon entering the car. People who do not pay their drivers may be barred from a future event, so please come prepared with cash for the ride. The park has a per car feee of .
