Hiking 101 #7

June 1 @ 12:30 pm

- $5

This hike begins on portions of the Seneca and Mohawk trails with a gentle but noticeable incline, gaining 200 feet in elevation within the first third of a mile. The steady climb is manageable but provides a satisfying challenge as you make your way through the beautiful, wooded trail!

Should we experience an increase of rain during the spring season, we may encounter some mud which makes for a slightly slippery but fun element of the adventure. Be sure to dress your feet appropriately.

Once the initial incline is conquered, the trail flattens out, offering a peaceful stroll through the woods. About a mile into the hike, we will make our way toward the highlight of the hike: the twin lean-tos. These rustic shelters, side by side in a serene setting, are perfect for a rest, a quick snack, and a drink of water. After, we will loop back around onto the Finger Lakes Trail for the final mile hike back to our cars!
