ADK - Genesee Valley Chapter

The plan would be to start at the parade grounds around 8, hike down to the bridge to cross the river and hike north around the big bend, hoping to catch the early side of the fall color changes. If we have time, we can hike down to the falls overlooks, before cycling back to the parade grounds. I am thinking it will be around 10-12 miles, depending on how far we go, and about 1200 ft of elevation or so.

You must contact me in advance if you would like to join this hike. My email is jimmiller1e10@gmail.com

I will send details a few days before once I know who all is going. Plan on an 8am start and a 6-7 hour hike.

All participants will be required to sign the ADK Liability form prior to the hike.

This free and open to the public meeting includes:

6:30 PM Workshop: Naloxone Training. The Monroe County Health Department will be visiting us and showing how to save a life by using a medicine that rapidly reverses an opioid overdose. (Naloxone is safe; it has no effect on someone who does not have opioids in their system, and it is not a treatment for opioid use disorder.)

7:30 PM Presentation: The Wild Life of Remote Ornithology by Aurora Kuczek. Wildlife biologist, Aurora Kuczek has worked as wildlife biologist in remote places around the world including Alaska and Argentina. Her talk will focus on the adventures and challenges associated with this work.
