Friday Working Hike @ McAuliffe Road Trail

CHAMPLAIN AREA TRAILS has a *tentative* Friday WORKING HIKE on THE mcauliffe road trail ON decemBEr 6th AT 9 AM.

Enjoy this 3-mile out-and-back trail near Essex, New York. Generally considered an easy route, we will walk the trail as we lop and clean up the trail along the way. This is an easy hike along an abandoned road. The route begins at the top of a deep gorge, with the Boquet River below, passing through forests, pastures, and a collapsing barn. This is a lovely way to spend a December morning.

WHAT TO BRING: We will work with loppers, hand saws, and string trimmers, which Champlain Area Trails can provide. Feel free to bring your tools as well.  Make sure to bring gloves, protective eye gear (if using a string trimmer), water, and some snacks! Dress in good layers for winter hiking.  

DIRECTIONS: Find the north trailhead near McAuliffe Rd. and Sunset Dr. Click here for Google Maps directions.

REGISTRATION: Please register by 6:00 p.m. the day before the event by emailing tony@champlainareatrails.com, but it's also okay to meet us there Friday at 9:00 a.m.
