Description

Cayuga Trails Club will sponsor this 30th annual Earth Day Hike, named in memory of Tom Reimers, local conservationist and trail advocate.

This trail takes hikers along the high banks and water’s edge of Fall Creek, and features early spring wildflowers, birds, breathtaking vistas. Wear sturdy footwear and bring drinking water and rain gear, if needed. Be prepared for steep climbs and descents; the hike is moderately strenuous.
