Why? To reflect on things of the past and to make sure for the continuity in the future. 2 weeks into being on E-board and approximately a year after fully joining the club, the terrible news of the “Loj” reached me. I knew that something had to do be done to reflect upon the lodge as well as show that our club without the lodge is still a strong vibrant community. This Edition of Excelsior is filled with submissions from current members and alumni who enjoy the outdoors and wanted to share their adventures. The lodge was a host to the community and the bond that connected us all. However during the editing and compiling of this edition I learned that although the lodge will be severely missed by the community, its spirits will continue.

  • Hiking Checklist
    HIKES: A Checklist to Help You Pick a Hike 1) When picking hikes from the table above and list below, look at the “climb,” the “difficulty” & the required “agility level,” not just the distance! Know your limitations….. 2) ….If in the past year or so you have not done at least a three hour hike, then please do not sign up for any of our all-day hikes (all ~five hours or more of actual hiking)…. out of respect for your fellow hiking Summiteers…. 3) Every trail bend might seem perfect for photo taking, and we’ll all be snapping photos like crazy….Just please not so much as to be to the detriment of your fellow hikers or denying all of them the time to actually reach our hiking destinations! Thanks. 4) Traditionally, we call these “regular” Summit hikes listed below “destination hikes.” Natural and/or historical interpretation is not the focus of these hikes, unlike rambles and most other Summit programs. While your leader will often offer some interpretation, if you want the primary focus to be on ecosystems, plants, history, geology, birds, photography, environmental issues, etc., we recommend Summit rambles and other Summit programs. The Roost, Goose Eye Brook, Lost Pond, Table Rock, and the all-day Blueberry Mtn. hikes will over more interpretation than most hikes (historic on the first, natural on the others.) 5) Some veteran hikers, especially in the Appalachians, disdain mind-numbing, needlessly lengthy, often 2% grade (poorly designed) switchbacks, and hate flights of stone stairs replacing natural trails, both obsessions in recent decades by certain trail clubs.
