Original trip on March 23 cancelled because of ice and rain. Rescheduled for May 18, 2024 Families and casual hikers are you ready to indulge in what spring has to offer in the hilltowns of western Massachusetts? Join us for a hike on the Conwell Property Trail in Worthington (part of Hilltown Land Trust) and then partake in a sugar house buffet at High Hopes Farm in Worthington. The hike is rated as an easy, 2.3 mile, out and back gently rolling route with a water crossing. Following our hike, we will return to our cars to ride the short distance to High Hopes Farm Sugar House to enjoy the buffet. The sugar house buffet is $16.00 per adult. WMA AMC Family Outings will cover the cost of the children's buffet for participating kids. Requirements: Please be prepared at the trailhead on the day of the hike for a variety of spring conditions we may encounter while hiking, such as rocks, exposed roots, icy patches and mud and a water crossing. It is essential to have proper footwear (sturdy, waterproof boots are recommended) as well as drinking water. It is recommended that you bring rain gear, microspikes, hiking poles and possibly snowshoes. (to be ready for anything) Please dress in layers as it will likely be cool/cold when we start. Avoid cotton as it does not retain warmth once wet. A hat, gloves and warm socks are recommended. AMC requires all children under 18 be accompanied by a parent or guardian and have a signed waiver. All hikers will be required to have signed the AMC's Acknowledgement and Assumption of Risks & Release Form online prior to the hike. Please list the first names of participants and ages of children on the electronic waiver. Inclement weather will cancel this hike.
