September 7, 2025(2 events) Registration required: sdm246@cornell.edu We are hiking Crane Mountain in Johnsburg. Meeting at the trailhead by 8am and plan to be on trail for 5-6 hours for a steady pace with breaks. 4-H membership is not required to participate.
Total mileage: 4.75mi loop
Elevation gain: 1,592 ft
This hike is an Advanced Only Hike. There are ladders to climb up 2 sections of trail to reach the breathtaking views at the top. The trail is weather-dependent, meaning we will be in contact if this hike needs to be put on hold. The trail is a loop starting with a gradual climb up to steeper sections then to the ascent by ladders. Good, sturdy boots with good soles are highly recommended. Plenty of water and snacks/lunch are required in packs. We'll take time to relax at the top before descending to the pond. Both up and down are fairly steep in some parts so be prepared to use hands and feet on the rocks!
I don't want to discourage anyone who may be on the fence about this one but I also want to make sure your family/group knows what to expect. The climb is well-worth the views. Please reach out to me if you have questions!
Registration required: Hudson Crossing Park Explore the park after dark! Join us each month for an inclusive evening adventure on or near the full moon. As the sun sets and the moon rises, the park comes alive in subtle ways, and this program invites guests of all ages to discover the secret life of crepuscular animals- creatures most active during the twilight hours. Take a guided walk through Hudson Crossing Park and search for signs of some of our quietest neighbors: deer, foxes, raccoons, bats, rabbits, and even fireflies. These elusive animals tend to avoid the hustle and bustle of the day, but under the glow of the full moon, they become more active — giving us a rare chance to spot them in their natural element. Space is limited, and registration is required. |
