Sat, May 25 - Marcy Peak We’ll start off the summer climbing season with a bang by ascending the highest peak in the Adirondacks from the Heart Lake trailhead. We’ll be traveling at a more moderate pace, so plan on a long day of hiking. Some of us will be staying down for the 46er Spring Banquet on Sunday, where we will celebrate Brian Baston’s recognition as a new 46er. Approx 15 mi round trip distance with an elevation gain of 3500 ft. Level 5. Very Strenuous. Contact Toni Towle/Peter Blood at 613-387-2829 or blackrapids@ripnet.com.

Bring treats to share, and water or other drinks for yourself. Wear sneakers or sturdy shoes. Level 1, easy. Contact Charlie or Lila Hunnewell at 315-854-8000 or lhunnew61@aol.com.

Sat, Jun 1 - Owl’s Head Lookout The trail includes a pleasant walk though a hardwood forest, and crosses an unnamed stream several times, requiring a bit of rock hopping.
