POSTPONED to Feb 28 due to severe cold - Winter Marshall
Albany Chapter
Marshall is the 4th of the MacIntyre range, and is easiest to get from Upper Works. We will hike in via the Calamity trail and head up the Herbert Brook herd path. The first and last 5.4 miles are relatively easy to hike. The last mile up the herd path is really the only steep section. If the group desires, we can extend the hike another mile or so and come down the Cold Brook pass to see the plane wreck. Microspikes and snowshoes will be required for this hike. In the end, it will be 14 miles and 2900 feet of elevation. Bad weather date will be the 8th.

Bozen Kill Preserve Hike/Snowshoe
Albany Chapter
Hiking or snowshoeing in the Bozen Kill Preserve in Altamont. This land is managed by the Mohawk-Hudson Land Conservancy and the land includes a stream, several miles of wooded trails, escarpment features and pretty views. Our exact route will be decided once the weather forecast and trail conditions are known. My expectation is we will start at 10 am from the Lower Parking lot and go 4-6 miles and 400-600' of elevation gain, distance depending on conditions.
Email me to register and I will put you on my email list to update and with specific directions as we get closer to the hike date. I am hoping for snow, but will be out there in most conditions other than pouring rain or blinding snow!

SUNDAY HIKE Letchworth SP Hike (and Pancakes!)
Genesee Valley Chapter
Note the meeting time! This will be our 25th annual pancake hike. We will drive to the parade grounds entrance on the east side of the river at Letchworth State Park and hike south along the newly opened Finger Lakes Trail to the old RR crossing, and back. This will be about a 5-mile Class C+ hike, mostly flat, but snowshoes or spikes will probably be required as the trail may be very uneven due to frozen boot prints. After the hike we will go to Cartwrights' Maple Tree Inn. We'll meet at 8:30 a.m. at Frontier Commons near the intersection of 390 and Jefferson Road and leave for Letchworth via carpool at 8:45. We won't be back until mid to late afternoon, so if you are pressed for time, this isn't a good match. Bring a light snack as we may not get to the restaurant until around 1:00 or 1:30, and there may be a wait (very possibly outside). Also, bring cash for the meal (Maple Tree doesn't take credit cards) and the carpool drivers. The carpool cost will be $24/car divided by the number of riders. (e.g.…
