ANF Chapter Fall Leaf Peeper Hike - Bliss Hill Parking Area

Join us for a fall hike traveling south across lovely Gibbs Hill toward Rt 6. We’ll be able to enjoy the beautiful fall foliage colors and pine forests of the area.
Our meeting time is 10 AM at the Bliss Hill parking. Lot is located on Bliss Hill Rd, about 3.3 miles NE of Rt 6 or 1 mile SW of Rt 321. Look for the long uphill staircase, parking is across from that. Coordinates are N 41° 44.968’ W 078° 53.003’. You can also follow this link, https://arcg.is/8C8C8 to the spot on the NCTA interactive map or Bliss Hill Rd Parking on Google Maps.
We will do an out and back hike south on the NCT. It is about 5.4 miles to go to a snowmobile road and back or 10.2 miles to go as far as Rt 6 back. We’ll also stop at the Gibbs Hill Shelter. The length of the hike can be adjusted based on the desires of the participants.
Please come prepared for the hike dressed in appropriate layers for the weather, and carrying your own food and water. Friendly dogs are welcome. We hope to see you down the trail.
