Saturday | Get Out and Help ADK support National Trails Day
According to the American Hiking Society, which sponsors National Trails
Day, the event inspires the public and trail enthusiasts nationwide to seek
out their favorite trails to discover, learn about, and celebrate trails while
participating in educational exhibits, trail dedications, gear demonstrations,
instructional workshops and trail work projects.
So why not join the Trails Committee on Saturday, June 7th at the Veterans
Memorial Park in Penfield, from 9 to 12pm, as we help the Penfield Trails
Committee and the Parks' Department spruce up the trail extension located
behind the Penfield Town Hall?
[Click for map (3.2 mb pdf)]
For this year's project, we will help do basic trail maintenance (spread
wood chips and rake them out) with equipment provided by the Parks Department.
All you need to bring is water, work gloves, hat, sunscreen, and your stamina.
For more information on how to join us, contact Mary Norman.
At 12pm, we will head to a local restaurant for lunch. In addition, there
will be a hike before or after the project as part of the Saturday Hiking
program–check back here as the details for the hike unfold.

Class A Day Hike | Annual Women's Trip - Owls Head Mountain
Join Judy Immesoete and Donna Dinse for a relaxing weekend of car camping,
swimming and hiking. We will leave Rochester early Friday afternoon arriving at
Lake Eaton Campground, which is located near Long Lake, in time for a pot-luck
dinner.
After an early breakfast Saturday morning at the campground we
will hike Owls Head Mountain. The summit has a nonaccessible fire tower but
offers a spectacular 180 degree view from its cliff face of Blue Mountain as
well as some of the more eastern high peaks. On the way back to the campground
there is a nice sandy beach for swimming on the west side of Lake Eaton.
The
round trip is approximately 8 miles from the campground with a little over 1000
feet in elevation gain. Saturday dinner will be at a local restaurant.
On
Sunday, after breakfast and breaking camp, we will drive to near by Buttermilk
Falls. Before heading home we will visit the Adriondak Museum in Blue Mountain.
A deposit of $11.00 is required. The trip is limited to 12. Some loaner camping
equipment is available.
For more information please contact Judy Immesoete at 924-1660 or .
| August 15-17
Class D Dayhike | Whiteface and Esther, Catamount - Update
We will drive to Upper Jay on Friday afternoon and stay at a motel. On
Saturday, we will do a traverse of Whiteface from the ASR trailhead to Connery
Pond for a total distance of ca. 13 miles. We will climb Esther on the way up.
Weather-permitting, expect to see some grand lake scenery on the descent (Lake
Placid itself!).
The plan for Sunday is to climb Catamount (3.6 miles
roundtrip), a well-kept secret of the locals, before driving home. Catamount
has a rocky open summit and a "chimney" that is fun for people, but not for
dogs.
Deposit required.
To sign up, please Karin Töpfer at 585-4239989 or
.
| August 21-26
Car Camping and
Class D Day Hikes | Northern New Hampshire White Mountains - Update
We will drive to NH on Thursday morning and set up car camping near the
northern end of the Whites. Over the next three or four days we will climb
Cabot, Waumbek, the Wildcats, Carter Dome and North Twin. In between we will
have hot showers and eat at some nice restaurants. The extra day is in case we
have some very bad weather. The listed hikes will cover nearly 40 miles and
15,000 feet of vertical. We will return to Rochester on Tuesday 8/26 at the
latest.
Contact Joe Roth at 671-8458,
for more information. | August 22-24 | Johns Brooks Lodge Trip
We will meet in the Garden parking lot in Keene Valley on Friday early
in the afternoon and hike the easy 3.5 miles to Johns Brook Lodge.
Breakfast, a trail lunch and dinner are included. I reserved one room
that sleeps four. If the trip fills beyond four, there may be bunks
available in other rooms. A $65 deposit is required. Estimated total
stay is estimated by JBL to be $125. Cancellation or full payment must
follow by no later than 6/14.
Now for the fun stuff. On Saturday, the
plan is to hike Saddleback and Basin. If time allows, we can explore
Johns Brook and do some bushwhacking near the lodge. Please email me
soon if you are interested, the four bunk room could fill up fast.
Contact Bob Borland at 242-4730 (please leave a message) or
(best way to contact me). | [top] | September Outings and Events | September 17

RWMS – Another Club for Winter Backpacking
The Rochester Winter Mountaineering Society is an informal group of
climbers who find winter the ideal time to explore and climb the
mountains of the northeastern United States.We encourage those
interested in joining the society to attend one of the winter
mountaineering workshops (see below). The number of participants on any
trip will be limited at the leader's discretion. Call early to avoid
disappointment.
Experienced backpackers who are properly equipped and in excellent
physical condition are invited to join us on an introductory trip. For
2008 there are two introductory trips in January.
