PROPOSED HIKE:
On Sunday, Nov 18 we will meet at 10:00 am.
We will walk about 6+ miles (can’t walk the entire distance – then grab an Uber and meet us for lunch).
From the parking area we will check out the Western Cemetery.
We will walk along the Western Promenade and meander up and down the major streets between the Promenade and High Street.
Afterwards we’ll walk downtown and grab lunch.
After lunch we’ll cover areas we missed as we head back to our cars.
There are facilities and corner stores along the way where we can take breaks or get food/snacks.
Directions To Trailhead Parking Lot
We will park on Vaughan Street (where Vaughan intersects with Orchard Street – by the Western Cemetery) at 10:00 am and we will hike from there.
