Join
us for an easy walk to enjoy spring wildflowers along the trail. This
will be a level walk along an ADA loop trail with an overlook - offering
stunning views of Bristol Valley to the south and downtown Rochester to
the north on a clear day. Enjoy spring wildflowers along the path such
as fringed polygola (Polygaloides paucifolia), white trillium (Trillium
grandiflorum), mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum), and more. The loop trail
is short - 0.3 miles. There are miles more of trails in the park - you
can stay and extend your hike on your own if you like. This is a joint
trip with the New York Fora Association.
This walk will begin at the parking area adjacent to the "jump off" on Gannett Hill Park Drive.
