Oct 19, 2024; Cherry Valley National Wildlife Refuge; U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service START TIME 9 AM

An invigorating stroll over the creek and rolling meadowed hills of the sunny Cherry Valley. About 2 miles. Paved trail; several cardio-inducing hills. Estimated time 1 hour. There are two Cherry Valley National Wildlife Refuges in the area. We will meet at the one that was once a golf course: 2138 Crossdale Rd, Stroudsburg, PA.

​

December 21, 2024; Lower Hornbeck Trail

A winter solstice walk to a waterfall! Join us on a pristine journey over idyllic footbridges to the waterfall and then back again. About 2 miles. Path is mostly flat gravel with some rocky sections, bridges have steps up and require a bit of dexterity. Estimated time 1.5 hours. Meets at Lower Hornbeck's Creek Trailhead. If lot is full, there is overflow parking across 209. Give yourself plenty of time to arrive, as this is our farthest destination from town this year, and overflow parking is a short but noticeable walk to the trailhead.
