Join us for this month’s hiking adventure as we head to the Adirondacks for a hike up Round Mountain in Keene Valley. We will depart a little earlier than usual to catch the 9:00 a.m. ferry. The hike is approximately 4.5 miles round-trip and offers beautiful views from the summit. While there are a few steep sections, most of the trail is moderately graded, with approximately 1,800 feet of elevation gain. This is considered a moderately strenuous hike and is best suited for hikers comfortable with uneven terrain and elevation changes. As an added treat, we may stop at the Noon Mark Diner afterward for a creemee or a slice of pie! For questions about the hike, please contact Michael Rubin at mjrubin99@gmail.com.
