SATURDAY OCTOBER 1OTH - MIANUS RIVER GORGE PRESERVE

We'll hike to Havemeyer Falls by way of the Brink of the Gorge and Bank of the River trails with a stop at Hobby Hill Quarry.

4.5 miles (approx) uphill/climbs are mostly short and easy.

3 hours or so, depending on the group (Quarry, Falls, Break, Points of Interest, Pictures, Breathing..)

This is not a race or a run. If you are going to rush or be inpatient, this is not the hike or the group for you! We don't race through the woods.

This hike is limited to 30

No picnicking, but we'll stop for a snack.

Sorry, No dogs are allowed in this preserve.

This MAY be a good hike for children over 10 who have hiked before. There is a map available with points of interest and we will be looking for and identifying them. On a previous hike, FLAT STANLEY came along :) Parents, please email me first if you have any questions! Kid policy - No whining allowed - No kidding!

To bring-

Essential: Water, snack, camera. Good vibe.

Optional: Sunglasses/sunscreen/hat with a brim, anything else you need to be comfortable.

*Go all the way into the back lot. Meet in front of the informational kiosk.

This will be a 'Strides Hike'

What does that mean?

The entire Meetup fee + donations collected will go to our Making Strides Against Breast Cancer WNH Team - see below for details:

My normal meetup fee is $3.00 and I ask/hope you will donate more than my fee. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DONATE. ($3 to hike)

All money raised in a Strides Hike will go to our Making Strides Against Breast Cancer WNH Team. I am donating all of my meetup fee received today + whatever additional dollars members wish to contribute. For more info on the WNH TEAM and the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk at Woodbury Common on OCTOBER 18th 2015, please go to this event post:  http://www.meetup.com/WestchesterNoviceHikersMeetup/events/223453148/
