Sometimes a long day of work can be stressful. Do yourself a favor and wind down from the work day with a night hike up Mt. Arab in Piercefield. By the light of our headlamps we will journey along the one mile trail of flat to steep grade as we make our way up to the summit where we will be greeted by dazzling constellations and the waning gibbous moon.

Make sure to wear hiking boots or sneakers and bring a backpack with bug spray, water (about 1 liter), a raincoat, a fleece, and a headlamp. No hiking experience is needed. All are welcome on this unique nocturnal experience!

We will be meeting at 7:30 p.m. at the Brewer Bookstore on St. Lawrence Campus and carpooling in a van to Mt. Arab. If you want to drive yourself, meet at the trailhead at 8:45pm. The trip takes about one hour from Canton.
