Description

Leaving the parking lot we will join the rail trail going east and visit Albion and Buttermilk Falls following the blue side trail back to the rail trail and on to the Margate stairs (165 stairs) returning by paved paths following the escarpment and rail trail.  (Please arrive by 9:45 am as we will be on the trail by 10:00 am sharp. Bring water and a snack.  Icers if necessary (hopefully not!).  This is an urban hike with almost no cover for a call of nature!

If cancelled due to rain (snow?), I will notify you by email the evening prior to the hike.  If you cancel after 4:00 pm on the day prior to the hike, use the contact information I will send you by email a day or two before the hike.
