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 will 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. There are three planned hikes, with a potential fourth "bonus" hike. Orientation Class: Wednesday, 4/9 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. Attendance is strongly encouraged.
Hikes: A hike is planned for each of the following Sundays, 4/13, 4/27 and 5/4. If a make-up date is need due to weather or unforeseen circumstances, a hike will be held 5/18. All hikes begin promptly at 9:00am. Additionally, if no make-up is necessary, a "bonus" fourth hike will be held on 5/18, weather dependent. Directions to each hike location will be provided in advance
