Hike Mount Beacon with the Health & Wellness Club

Description

The Health & Wellness Steering Committee of the Chamber will host two hikes up Mount Beacon in October to enjoy the beautifully scenic views and cool fall weather.

Individuals will meet at the parking area at 10:00 am on Saturday, October 8 and Saturday, October 15 to hike up the mountain at their own pace. The hike will last approximately two hours and will include tips on how to avoid injury, proper stretching techniques, and hiking safety from volunteer experts.  Participants are encouraged to bring plenty of water in non-disposable containers to carry while hiking.  Proper hiking shoes or boots are required.  The hike is open to anyone – frequent breaks can be taken along the way to rest and to enjoy the scenery.  Parking area and trailhead are located at the intersection of Route 9D and Howland Avenue in the City of Beacon at 788 Wolcott Ave., Beacon, NY 12508.

The activities and programming of the Health & Wellness Club are sponsored by: Health Quest.
