Attention Woodland Hikers!

The inaugural hike of the Woodland Valley Hikers will take place on Saturday, September 6th, with a rain date of Sunday the 7th. We will be hiking up to Giant Ledge for lunch and a great view. I will be sharing some historical info along the way, and would like to hear what others know as well. Meeting time at the parking area is 10:00 a.m. This hike just over 3 miles total and is rated moderate/ difficult, and we plan to be back to the parking area by 3:00p.m. Not recommended for small kids. It takes about 1/2 hour to drive to the Giant Ledge trailhead from Woodland Valley.
Driving Directions: From Phoenicia area, take Rt. 28 West to Big Indian. Then turn left onto C.R. 47 (Slide Mtn. Rd.) going 7.4 miles to the parking area on the right side. This is the Giant Ledge Parking Area. Just for a reference point, the road takes a very sharp turn and steep climb immediately after the correct parking area.
Bring a daypack with at least lunch, drinks, camera, rainjacket, flashlight, lighter. Walking stick and binoculars recommended as well. Cloudy or rainy forecast postpones hike to Sunday. I will e-mail postponement notice, but give me a phone number if you need to be reached that way. Please let me know if you plan to attend, and if you have any questions. Don't miss it, I won't!
