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.

Qué llevar: Calzado adecuado para una caminata como zapatillas o botas, ropa apropiada, agua y bocadillos si se desea.
