Hikers in good physical condition are welcome to join Ed’s hike. If you have hiked with the Harriman Hikers and can handle the usual 7-8 miles of hiking over hilly, rocky terrain in warm weather, then you are a likely candidate for Ed’s Saturday, Mar 17th, 2007 Hike; however, please note that as the daylight hours get longer, Ed’s hikes tend to be more ambitious than Harriman Hikers’ regular Sunday hikes.

During cooler weather, but during daylight savings time, Ed’s hikes tend to be a bit more ambitious at times, but since we will be on Eastern Standard Time in February, limited hours of daylight will dictate that Ed’s hike will be more akin in length to regular Harriman Hikers hikes of 7-8 miles.
