Happy Moderate Fahnestock Loop Hike!!

Fahnestock is a great place, varied terrain, ups, downs, roots and rocks. To get there you have a wiggly windy uphill road to get there, if the world is icy I will reschedule. Changes will be made by 7am. I am doing this early enough that we shouldn't have to deal with the white stuff yet.
4.7 miles moderate, not easy!!!! Dogs welcome. No beginners. Please be a regular hiker with recent hiking experience.
Hiking boots mandatory, pack, first aid, water, snacks. We will dine afterwards, bring snacks.
If winter weather you will need Microspikes or some similar traction device. NO YAKTRAX or nubby devices. Wear layers and follow the No Cotton rule for winter hiking. This includes jeans and long johns as wet clothing is a danger if it is cold out. If you are not properly prepared I will ask you to find a different activity for your day. (By putting this in it is like bringing an umbrella, we won't need it.)
The map pin is an approximation. You will see our cars pulled off to the side of the road when you get there. There is a hiking sign and a bunch of mailboxes. If you don't see us keep going a little, you will. It is near some tennis courts.
$2 Meetup fee. Please send me your cell if I don't have it, I will return with mine.
ALL HIKES or WALKS ARE AT YOUR OWN RISK. By signing up you certify that you have read and agree to the Liability Waiver on the Discussions page. Happy trails!!!
