Tuesday July 9: Halfway in Hamilton Guided Hike 

To celebrate the Centennial of the Northville-Placid Trail, ADKX is collaborating with Naturalist and Adirondack Guide, Ed Kanze, to lead a nature walk along the central portions of this historic trail. This section of the trail will bring us up and over a ridge and into a wild valley on the far side. Our destination and turn-around will be a stream and marsh draining from the O’Neil Flow, just to the east.

Head over to the ADKX campus in the afternoon for a campfire, s’mores, and stories from the trail. Listen to a program by Julia Goren, Deputy Executive Director of the Adirondack Mountain Club at 2 PM, and take a tour of ADKX’s new temporary exhibit Trail Makers: 100 Years of the Northville-Placid Trail.

Ce qu'il faut apporter: Des chaussures adéquates pour une randonnée comme des baskets ou des bottes, des vêtements appropriés, de l'eau et des collations si désiré.

Inscription obligatoire pour cette randonnée. L'itinéraire et de plus amples informations vous seront envoyés après votre inscription. Clécher ICI pour s'inscrire
