Traction devices may be needed. Leader will consider bumping the hike a day if adverse weather makes the 28th unfavorable. The park now allows leashed dogs so if you want to bring your well-mannered pup, that's okay.
If it's full and you want to come, add your name to the wait list, there will generally be a cancellation or two as the date nears and plans change.
Meet at the Limekiln Trailhead by 7:45 a.m. for an 8:00 a.m. start. There is a per vehicle entrance fee of $10 (if you don't have a state parks pass). If the cost is a barrier arrange to meet the leader who has a pass.)
Required Equipment
Poles recommended, traction if we get snow again.
