DETAILS

Don't let the colder weather keep you inside! With miles of trails to explore, winter can be a wonderful time to connect with nature. We would love you to join us for the Winter Wilderness Skills session in Trout Brook Valley with Chris Varian. He will cover essential winter hiking skills such as map navigation, emergency priorities and skills, winter gear essentials, cold injury prevention, and more. What to bring: 1 liter of water, snacks, hiking boots (preferably waterproof and insulated), wool or synthetic layers appropriate for the conditions. (no cotton please), warm jacket, any needed medications, and traction devices for your boots. We will meet at the Bradley Road entrance to Trout Brook (drive through the open gate just to the right of the main parking lot and go to the interior Hunter's parking lot). The event will take place rain or shine. Please, no dogs. Also, there is little or no internet connection in area and no bathroom facilities. Event is open to the public. Priority to members. Maximum 12 people. RSVP required. 13 yrs and up.
