 Normally, by now I would be encouraging only the bravest of hikers to attempt a November hike but this year's weather has remained welcoming even for the your more "delicate" hikers like me! Come out and enjoy this incredible autumn for as long as you can. And visit this post periodically for updates as more hikes and events are scheduled.

Friday, November 1

Meet at Crow Trail parking lot, Tuscarora State Park off Tuscarora Mountain Road for this 7 mile hike rated moderate.  Naturalist Robin Tracey will lead a hike that includes the best of three of the park's trails. Leashed dogs are welcome if they are friendly with people AND dogs. Bring a lunch!

Saturday, November 2

Wee Ones Walk from 10 am to 11 am
