Start the new year on the good foot! Everyone welcome — families, friends, kids. A beautiful hike at Sky Meadows State Park on the Lost Mountain side (30 minutes from Round Hill).

Difficulty = ( Easy)
Hike B.
Distance = Rolling Meadows (2.5 miles) + Lost Mtn (2.2miles)= 4.7 miles total

Bring whatever you need to stay comfortable: water, snacks, comfortable shoes, warm jacket, hat, gloves, etc…
A few simple notes:
— The hike will happen rain or shine.
— The trailhead parking lot is on the East side of Rte 17, the Lost Mountain side (opposite side from the main park entrance and house).
— Hike begins @ noon (no waiting for latecomers)
— Plan to arrive at least 5 minutes early. Folks will need to sign-in, which includes a simple waiver form.
— There is no waitlist. All comers are welcome.
As always, it’s important to know your own abilities and stay within them.
See you there!
