Overview

Join us for a 2 hour, 4.7 mile pre-registered hike for 10 participants at Marconi Wireless Station Site in Wellfleet. This is a permitted hike in the National Seashore. The terrain is incredibly diverse, ranging from short sandy beach trails to on-road walks. Meander on a short segment of boardwalk in an area that looks like something time forgot, a stretch on the Cape Rail Trail, and a journey through the woods on varying ground cover. Some gradual incline. But that is not all--this walk includes historical information on the high seas, pirates, connections to George Washington and the Titanic. We will stop mid-point at a French Pastry shop with bathrooms available. The pace will be moderate. No turn-around options. Dress appropriately with hiking footwear and take precautions against ticks. Bring water and poles if desired. Poles will be available for anyone who needs them. Registered participants will be notified via email of any need to cancel, most often due to weather. Directions: Marconi Station Site (not Marconi Beach). Route 6 East, 8 miles from traffic circle on 6E, turn right onto Marconi Beach Rd, follow signage and take left to Marconi Wireless Station Site
