West Rock: moderate hike

Please join us for this very scenic hike with beautiful views of New Haven and Long Island Sound. This is a moderate hike that is 5.6 miles with 735’ of climbing. We will keep a pace of 25 minute miles, but this hike is not as rugged as our last hike. Meet at 9:30 and be ready to hit the trail at 9:45. We will start out hiking around Lake Wintergreen which is mostly flat. There is only one significant climb in the hike, but you are rewarded at the top. Then we will follow the ridge line before heading back to Lake Wintergreen. Please download the route in case you get separated.

Please bring water and layers of clothing for changes in the weather. Make sure you are capable to hike the distance with the elevation gain at this speed so you don’t slow down the group.
