Hike location: on the Abbott Loop (FLT Map M17) south of Ithaca.
Hike
This 8.4 mile-long loop hike, located in the Danby State Forest, was planned and built by Doris and Cliff Abbott and other Cayuga Trails Club members. It is one of the premier FLT loop trails. One of the highlights is Thatcher’s Pinnacles which provides a 180-degree view of the West Danby area below. We will be hiking it clockwise which means the first 1.7 miles will be on the main FLT.
No dogs, please.
