Please join us for a weekday hike on September 8th with Dave Mogul at McLean Game Refuge in Granby.
We’ll be hiking a circular path around the eastern end of the property on some of the park’s roads and trails. This is relatively easy hike, although there are a few inclines and some areas with rocky footing. The planned route is about 3 miles, and it’s expected to take 2 -3 hours, depending on our group’s pace.
We’ll meet at 9:30 at the parking lot on 150 Barndoor Hills Road. Please dress appropriately for the weather, and bring water as well as bug spray, if you want to.
Check Facebook or the website for postings or cancellation.
This hike is co-sponsored by Traprock Ridge Land Conservancy and Simsbury Land Trust.
