Two-hour hybrid hike split between a 1-hour loop at a slower pace through Vosburg Hollow, to the flat Hojack Trail returning to the parking lot. Then a moderate section at a faster pace in Gosnell Big Woods for the rest of the 2-hour hike. Meet at 9:45am in the Vosburg Hollow Nature Preserve parking lot (43.24267, -77.49697; 595 Vosburg Rd, Webster, NY 14580) behind the brick pump building on Vosburg Rd for a 10:00am hike start. From 104, take Bay Rd north all the way to the T-intersection at Lake Rd. then turn right onto Lake Rd. Vosburg Rd is the first right (1000') where Lake Rd begins to curve left. Drive 0.7 miles east to where the road curves to the right and drops into the ravine. Slow down since it's a blind curve and the entrance is about 100' down the hill. Vosburg Hollow is on the right with a blue sign facing the road. Turn into the parking lot drive just before the yellow fire hydrant. Please dress for the weather, wear boots or trail shoes with good traction and bring some water to drink. Hiking poles would be useful on the steeper sections. Bring a hot drink to sip while we're waiting for the hike to begin. Contact Jim Bishop at adk.gvc.trpldr@gmail.com with any questions. Dogs are not allowed on this hike.

Our hybrid hikes consist of 2 loops that allow us to drop off hikers who prefer a 40-minute to 1-hour easier hike at a slightly slower pace with less elevation change, then continue for the rest of the 2 hours at a faster pace with some short climbs. This allows all of us to keep hiking together, when some of our old and new friends need to shorten their hike or some are just starting back hiking after a time off or recovering from surgery.
You must read and sign the “club’s release of liability form” which will be available at the parking lot.
NO ONE WILL BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS EVENT without signing a LIABILITY RELEASE FORM.

Program - **How to Be a Badass Mountain Woman - Hardships and Healing in the Mountains**
by Bethany (Garretson) Adams
Bethany returns to our chapter for a motivational reflection of time spent in the mountains healing and pushing oneself. When Bethany was ten years old, she was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease of the lower intestine. Always an active child, she suddenly found herself limited by not just one disease, but two, having dealt with Asthma since she was a toddler.
When Bethany is 23, she hikes her first High Peak and dedicates her life to becoming and being a Badass Mountain Woman. Empowered by the healing power of nature, Bethany becomes an Adirondack 46er and travels the world in pursuit of mountain summits.
Come listen to her stories and the wisdom gleaned from all her time spent in the mountains.
Bethany Adams is a writer, mountain athlete, guide and outdoor instructor. She holds a Master’s Degree in Community Development and has been published in Trail Runner Magazine and Outside Magazine. She is the first and only woman to achieve 100 Fastest Known Times, and in 2020, she and Katie Rhodes became the first women to climb all 46 High Peaks in the Adirondacks unsupported. She is passionate about mountains and has traveled the world in pursuit of them. It is important to Bethany to represent women’s perspectives in outdoor spaces and to advocate for more belonging for all.
