    WESTCHESTER TRAILS ASSOC. Visit us on the web at: www.westhike.org Join our Yahoo Group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/westhike SPRING HIKING SCHEDULE AND NEWSLETTER MARCH, APRIL and MAY, 2019 Hikes ratings are based on terrain (mileage is stated separately in the description). An “easy” hike is one with relatively flat terrain while “easy to moderate” adds rolling hills. A “moderate” hike has steeper grades, possibly going up and down all day, and may involve some bushwhacking or short rock scrambles (like much of Harriman Park). A “strenuous” hike has steep ascents, often with rough or difficult terrain on much of the hike (like most Schunemunk trails, Breakneck Ridge, etc.). These ratings apply during good weather. Bad weather may lead to poor footing and increase the difficulty of any hike. Hiking boots and sufficient drinking water (1-2 liters) are required on all hikes. A trail lunch should be carried unless otherwise noted. Hikers with improper footwear, without sufficient water, or who are otherwise unprepared, may be refused or turned back by the leader. Well behaved dogs on leashes are welcome if the hike is listed as “dog friendly,” but dogs are not allowed on other WTA hikes. New hikers are asked to contact the leader in advance of the hike. In fairness to yourself and others, please choose a hike that is within your abilities - contact the leader if you have any questions about the level of difficulty or experience required. All who participate in the activities of the Westchester Trails Association do so at their own risk.
