Day Hike to Schunemunk

March 6th

From the "60 Hikes..." guidebook:

"Some hikes balance a number of attributes, providing a razzle-dazzle of experiences. Then there is Schunemunk Mountain. After a grueling gain of 1,300 feet right at the outset, you'll enjoy several miles atop a double ridge, with nothing but views to distract you. Views north to the Catskills, west to Kittatinny Ridge, [and] east to the Hudson."

BACKPACKING TRIP to Shenandoah

March 15-19

NOTE: LAST DAY TO SIGN-UP IS WEDNESDAY MARCH 10!!

"Gazing across the horizon from the peaks of Shenandoah National Park it’s hard to believe you are just 75 miles from the bustle of our nation’s capital. Take Skyline Drive along the crest of the mountains through the woods and past spectacular vistas. Hike in the shade of oak trees along the Appalachian Trail, discover the stories from Shenandoah’s past, or just relax in the wonder of wilderness." -- http://www.nps.gov/shen/index.htm

Cost $60

Sleeping bags, sleeping pads, and backpacks are available from the COOP for a reasonable rate.
