* Time changed to 6 PM *Bennett Hill Preserve /Beginner hike

Meet at Bennett Hill trailhead.Meet time 6pm, hike start time 615pm

We will hike a two mile loop along the green, red, and yellow trails of the preserve, which overlooks Clarksville. We will start at an elevation of 740' and climb to 1140'. Views along the way include the surrounding countryside, the Helderbergs, and a narrow outlook at the top of the hill toward the city of Albany. Although this will be a relatively short hike of approx. 2hrs, it includes a fairly steady uphill grade and a few short steep sections on the way up.* It is not a level walk in the park.*You should be doing regular aerobic exercise to participate. Dress for weather with layers of non cotton clothes, and wear hiking boots. Also bring bugspray, water/electrolytes and snacks. No dogs please. Check yourself for ticks after the hike.
