Well, the title of this hike calls for winter activities, but I don’t see any snow, so please join us for an early spring hike.

We are planning three hikes for this coming Sunday (3/3/24). The Climbers will earn their stripes by climbing from the creek at the bottom of the valley up to the top of the surrounding hills (about a 300 foot climb). We will take a few minutes at the top to point out the approximate location where the sun should be during the April 8th eclipse. Expect about 4 miles hiking through woods and open fields with up some steep but comfortable slopes.

The Tourists will take a longer route to the top of the hill across the road for a different view. We are planning on a 3.5 mile hike primarily in woods.

Finally, the Naturalists will climb only about 100 feet to a trail through the woods along the valley. This will be about 2.5 miles depending on time.

Please join us after the hike for a social. If the weather behaves, we will set up a picnic out by a fire with marshmallows for former scouts.  Bring a  dish to pass and your own beverage (or donate to the social fund).
