Activities

Saturday

Weekly sunrise hike (moved to saturday)  “wake up” and down Pine Cobble - sunrise at 6:43AM. Meet on Paresky steps at 6 AM!!  3 mile hike round trip - one thousand foot elevation gain to get your blood flowing and endorphins coursing through your veins!!.   Dress for the weather - chilly and parly sunny- good footwear for a trail that will be muddy, wet and always rocky!  bring a filled water bottle and a cup for hot drinks.  Return to campus by 9:30AM.   Please Contact Scott, [log in to unmask] to reserve a spot!

Sunday

Puddle Jumping!

Join us for a morning of splashing around! We will be heading down to the Hoosic for some puddle jumping, rock skipping, and general water enjoyment. We will leave at 11am from Paresky steps and return no later than 12:30pm. The walk down to the river is about a mile on a paved road, and another 5 minutes on trails that will be muddy, so dress appropriately! (and note that puddle jumping is very splashy). Email Malcolm at [log in to unmask] with any questions, and sign up here.
