Tuesday Hike (Hybrid)-Durand Eastman Park

Note - This hike is cross-posted from the ADK-GVC Event Calendar: https://adk-gvc.org/calendar/

Two-hour hybrid hike split between a 40-minute hike at a slower pace through the Arboretum, then looping back to the cars, followed by a 2nd hike at a faster pace on steeper trails around Durand and Eastman Lakes. Meet at 9:45am at the kiosk near the Durand Eastman Park Office/Maintenance Bldg (43.23196, -77.55616) at 100 Zoo Rd, off Lakeshore Blvd 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. 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.
