Hike to the Ice Caves at Sam’s Point
Friday, September 13, 2024 09:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Join Becca Howe-Parisio,
Environmental Educator, for an adventurous hike to the Ice Caves at Sam's
Point, where the air is always a comfortable 55 degrees Fahrenheit, even during
the height of the summer heat. This nearly four-mile hike includes one steep
hill on a carriage road, but the reward of walking through the cool, dark,
talus cave is worth the effort. While in the cave, educators will explain the
geology of this unique natural area and why it's so special. The footpath
section of this outing does include two primitive ladders and a steep stone
staircase, which some may find challenging. Plan to bring food and lots of
water and we'll have lunch on the trail. This program is recommended for
families of all ages who are capable of hiking this distance and terrain. Meet
at the Sam's Point Visitor Center. Pre-registration is required by calling
the Sam's Point Visitor Center at 845-647-7989.
