Hiking Highlights ~ 2010/2011

To sign up for Hiking Highlights or to ask questions contact Mark McGrath at 508-432-3775.

Notification for all hikes will be sent to those on the Hiking Highlights Email list.

Hiking Highlights is a low impact hiking/walking activity where we will explore the woods, beaches, dunes and other interesting places in the wonderful lower Cape Cod area.

These hikes will be in the Spring and Fall with about six hikes in each season. We will have a theme for most of the hikes.

We will hike between 2 and 3 miles in 1 ½ hours. The pace will be moderate with several breaks for rest and discussion. The emphasis will not be on a cardio vascular workout but the enjoyment of our off-the-beaten-path trails that have great scenery, historic significance or some other highlight.

Directions and final instructions will be Emailed to all those on the Hiking Highlights Email list before each hike. A more complete list will be sent by Email to those who sign up for the activity.

Sample hikes that we have taken:

• Hawksnest State Park in Harwich
• Dine on the Dunes on dune cliff in Wellfleet
• Sunrise hike on the beach
• Sunset hike on Brewster flats
• Bound Brook Island Wellfleet historic houses
• Truro cliffs on the Atlantic
• Nickerson State Park
• Bonus Hike 'Hike in a Hurricane' When the rains and winds are heavy let's walk an ocean beach for a short while to experience the storm in all its fury then talk about our adventure at a pub over a hot chocolate or beer.

Day of hike cell phone number for Mark McGrath is 508-838-1806
