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 south along the flat park road looping back to the cars, then a 2nd hike at a faster pace on the Ridge Trail out to the pier returning on the trail along Mill Creek for the rest of the 2-hour hike. Meet at 9:45am in the small Webster Park parking lot on Lake Rd (43.258163, -77.458610) 999 Lake Rd, Webster, NY 14580 for a 10:00am hike start. This parking lot is 0.6 miles west of the intersection of Lake and Holt Roads and just east of the Park Road entrance to the campground. Please dress for the weather, wear boots or trail shoes with good traction, bring some water to drink and some tick/mosquito repellent. 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.

You must read and sign the “club’s release of liability form” which will be available at the parking lot.
NO ONE WILL BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS EVENT without signing a LIABILITY RELEASE FORM.

Tuesday Hike (Hybrid)-Webster Park

Webster Park

This trip is intended for individuals who are either new to backpacking or have very limited backpacking experience, and who would like to gain backpacking experience and skills before venturing out on their own. This 3-day/2-nite trip will be on the section of the Northville-Placid Trail (NPT) that runs from Upper Benson (located approx. 5 miles west of Northville, NY) to Whitehouse (located approx. 7 miles southeast of Piseco, NY) through the rolling hills of the Silver Lake Wilderness Area in the southern Adirondacks. Anticipated distances backpacked each day will be approximately 7.0, 11.5 and 3.2 miles, for a total trip length of 21.7 miles. The maximum climbing elevation on any given day will be no more than approximately 800’. The plan is to camp at a wilderness campsite the first nite and camp at a lean-to the second nite, but that could change depending on actual field conditions. The trip will be limited to a maximum of 6 participants. All participants will be required to attend a pre-trip planning meeting (date/time tbd) to review gear and expectations. Participants are expected to have their own gear (backpack, tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, clothing/boots/rain gear, food, etc.; however stoves can be shared). Participants need to be able to carry their own fully loaded backpack over the course of the 3 days. We will be carpooling from Rochester via. several vehicles, and will spot a vehicle(s) at Whitehouse; travel expenses will be shared equally among the group. We will leave Rochester early Friday morning, and should return to Rochester on Sunday by late afternoon. Dogs are not allowed on this trip. All participants will be required to sign ADK’s Release of Liability Form, which will be available to sign at the trailhead. As stated above this trip is intended for individuals either new to backpacking or with very limited backpacking experience; if you are an experienced backpacker and are interested in participating you can sign-up to be put on a waiting list and may be able to participate depending on interest. The deadline to sign-up is July 13th. If interested in participating and to learn more, contact Reinhard Gsellmeier at [GSELLKR52@gmail.com](mailto:GSELLKR52@gmail.com).

Introduction to Backpacking, 3-Day Backpack on the Northville-Placid Trail

We'll meet at 9:45 AM with wheels rolling at 10:00AM for an easy-going ride. From the Great Embankment Park (631 Marsh Rd., Pittsford), we will ride east on the Erie Canal Trail, through the village of Fairport then cross the canal onto the Trolley Trail and head south to Rt. 31. We will return along the same route. The roughly 17-mile round trip is mostly flat, with gravel or paved surfaces. Please wear your helmet, dress for the weather and bring water and a snack. You must read and sign the ADK's Release of Liability" form which I will have at the parking lot. Non-GVC members can only join one ride each year due to insurance restrictions.
