Two-hour hybrid hike in Irondequoit Bay Park West split between a 1.2 mile one-way hike with a climb at the start, cutting south across the park and descending to the other parking lot on Orchard Park Blvd, then a 2.8 mile second hike at a faster pace with 500' elevation ascent/descent on the Red, Orange, Blue and Purple trails. If you're only doing the first hike, please RSVP to coordinate a shuttle ride to the start of the hike. Meet at 9:45am in the in the Irondequoit Bay Park West parking lot (43.18910, -77.53007) on S Glen Rd/Bay Front S. next to the Irondequoit Bay Fish & Game Club for a 10:00am hike start. Please dress for the weather, bring some water to drink, and wear boots or trail shoes with good traction. Depending on winter trail conditions Exospike, Microspike, snowshoes or other traction devices may be needed. Hiking poles would be useful on the steeper sections. Contact Jim Bishop at adk.gvc.trpldr@gmail.com with any questions. Dogs are not allowed on this hike.

Our hybrid hike consists of 2 hikes that allow us to drop off hikers who prefer a 40-minute to 1-hour easier hike at a slower pace with less elevation change, then continue with the 2nd hike for the rest of the 2 hours at a faster pace with some short climbs. This allows all of us to keep hiking together, when some of our old and new friends need to shorten their hike or some are just starting back hiking after a time off or recovering from surgery.
