The hike is on the Finger Lakes Trail in the Mariposa State Forest near DeRuyter. We spot cars on Rt. 12, shuttle up to Paradise Hill Rd. and walk (mostly downhill) back to cars, visiting and relaxing a bit at the Paradise Garden lean-to. Pack raingear, water and a snack.
Memorial HIke: Sigi's late husband Horst maintained the first part of the hike for many years, so come on out and join us if you knew him. his birthday would be the 4th and so we do this memorial hike for him every year and leave a great trail in our wake.
