ATIS Adult Program
In deference to his wife, Sarah, John Marble persuaded the ATIS Board to introduce some slower-paced, adults only hikes into the 1984 summer schedule. The ATIS Adult Program began modestly, with just three trips run exclusively for adults during that summer and has bourgeoned into a program that most summers offers excursions everyday of the week during July and August. Volunteers are recruited to lead expeditions to one of their favorite destinations, while interested adults are asked to contact the leader to get instructions on where to meet and what to bring. Past trips have included everything from dinner on the shores of a beautiful lake to the ascent of a 46er, with short hikes to waterfalls or easy paddles downstream in between. Check list below for any changes or additions 2021 ADULT TRIP SCHEDULE >>>> Remember <<<< You should always call the trip leader to check information You should sign up for trips at least 24 hours before the trip is scheduled to take place and If you can't go, you should cancel by 5 PM the day before the trip >>>> If no one signs up, the trip will be cancelled <<<< ATIS ADULT SUMMER HIKES 2021 July July 6, Tuesday, Stag Brook Falls Trail. 9-12, Meet Whiteface Ski Center. 1 mi. rt., rain cancels, Pete Biesemeyer July 8, Thursday, McComb, 7-5, 7.6 mi (or 9 mi depending on parking), Tony Goodwin 576-9949 July 13, Tuesday, Paddle to Explore Lower Saranac Islands. 9-3ish. Meet at St. Brendans in Keene at 9, Mary Pugsley Whitney and Jim Pugsley, 518-576-9892 July 13, Map and Compass Workshop This workshop will help you to learn how to use a map and compass or increase your skills in using them. It will be held on a detailed map of the area around the Lady’s Mile and across the river that will be provided. The workshop will start at 9:00, July 13th. From the Club Porch, we will start on the area around the Lady’s Mile. The second half of the course will cross the river and go up on the hillside above the West River Trail. We will go past a huge boulder that is about 15 ft x 30 ft x 60 ft. The workshop will last about two hours. (If you don’t have time or want to walk on uneven terrain, you can return the Club after the Lady’s Mile section of the workshop.) The map that will be used is a detailed contour map that has the trails and streams on it, but it also has boulders and cliffs as well as other features. This makes it easier to keep track of where you are as you travel on the trails or through the woods. If you have a compass, you should bring it, but some loaner compasses should be available. The workshop will introduce you how to read contours, how to use the compass to walk along a route (whether it be a path or through the woods), and it will introduce you to a permanent orienteering course that is on the Club lands.
