Description:

This will be an early evening hike in a primitive area in Chestnut Ridge. I’d expect the milage to be around 3+ miles, but we will see how it goes. The plan is to hike to areas that not everyone has seen. This hike will be considered moderate or B due to elevations, tree roots, and possible slippery areas.

Gear: 1. Footgear for trail conditions & hiking poles (may be slippery if rained recently)

2. H2O
3. Headlamp (we’ll be getting back at dusk and for campfire)
4. 10 Essentials INCLUDE LIGHT RAIN GEAR
5. Compass. This is a great opportunity for review of navigational skills.
6. Tick/Mosquito protection

RSVP: Contact to confirm and questions to: Pam Sander at [email protected]. Include your cell phone number.

And if the group is interested, post hike, at my house, I’d be happy to set up a campfire for storytelling and comradeship. Feel free to bring refreshments and snacks of your choice. This is a two legged hike only (please leave your dogs at home)
