The Hikes

September 27, 10:30 a.m.: The September hike will start from the visitor center on the first floor of the barn at John Brown Farm. It's a 2 mile, moderate hike with elevation gain. 

October 18, 1:30 p.m.: For the second hike in October, participants will meet at the trailhead at the Heaven Hills Trail system at the upper (far) end of Bear Cub Lane. It's also about 2 miles long, moderate, on a hillside.

November 11, 1:30 p.m.: The third hike, on Veteran's Day, will meet at the traffic circle at John Brown Farm, and we will drive together to the nearby North Elba Cemetery. It's a flat, easy ramble. 

Follow us on Facebook for updates, but please register at least a day in advance of the hike.
