OUTING IS FULL - WAITING LIST ONLY AT THIS TIME

Our home base will be at a small college in Cazenovia, a quaint village on a lake, about 20 miles southeast of Syracuse, NY. A van will take us to trailheads in pristine forests, magnificent parks, historic sites, lakes, gorges and waterfalls in several counties. One of the five days of hiking will be spent in the Finger Lakes region with its spectacular beauty. Our daily hikes will be relatively level, moderately paced and not strenuous. 

The cost includes 6 nights in a dormitory, all meals (starting on Monday), transportation to our destinations, and admissions to parks.
