Hikes:.
This is an
introductory class to hiking in the woods and is ideal for those who would like
to learn
more about hiking
and/or experienced hikers who want a shorter, less vigorous hike. The hike
selection is
intended to provide some aspect of history, scenic views and/or the beauty of
nature
unspoiled.
Hikes last
approximately 3-4 hours at an easy to moderate pace, and cover a
distance of
approximately four miles. Ascents and descents will be easy to moderate,
although
there may be some
short steep and rocky sections. Hikes may get progressively more difficult in
nature. There are three planned hikes, with a potential fourth
"bonus" hike.
ORIENTATION CLASS:
Wednesday, 10/15 will cover essential aspects of hiking (e.g. trail etiquette,
what to wear and bring, description of a typical hike, etc.) This will also
provide an opportunity to meet other hikers and learn about the planned hikes.
HIKES: Hikes are
planned for Sundays: 10/19, 10/26, 11/9.
If a makeup date is needed due to weather or unforeseen circumstances, a
hike will be held on 11/16 (if no make-up is necessary, a "bonus"
fourth hike will be held on 11/16). Directions to each hike location will be
provided in advance.
Note: 1) Consult
your physician with any health concerns before embarking on a program of
physical activity,
such as hiking. 2) A sign off on a Release of Liability form (provided prior to
each hike) is
required to participate. 3) Please include your email address and cell number
on
the registration
form, so you may be contacted in the event of any late changes to the
schedule.
HIKE LEADER: Nate Bellmay
has over 30 years hiking experience in various terrains and
locations, and is
accustomed to the type of trail features and landscapes associated with these
hikes.
