HIke Up the Wittenberg

Here is a message and some photos from WCA member Paul Misko. Looks like he had a great hike! Paul is the leader of the Woodland Valley Hikers. You can still join the group on it's inaugural hike up Giant Ledge on September 6th by emailing me here at wvview@gmail.com. I will pass the message to Paul and he will add you to the list.

"Here is a hike that I did with a friend of mine last week, and which will be one of the many hikes offered by the Woodland Valley Hikers next summer. It is and old favorite and one well worth getting into shape for. At nearly 10 miles long, it consists of hiking up Wittenberg (3780 ft.) from Woodland Valley, then proceeding to Cornell Mtn. (3860 ft.), then on to Slide Mtn.(4180 ft.). We left Woodland Valley at 10:00 a.m. and summited Wittenberg about 1:30p.m., summited Cornell about 3:00 p.m., summited Slide about 5:00 p.m. , then got to the car near Winnisook at 7:15 p.m., and into town for dinner by 8:30 p.m. We were hungry."
