Hey Everyone, My name is Aaron and I am pretty new to this group. I live in Ithaca and am looking to go on hikes with people. I go mostly everyday on the FLT,...
Arron: I can't be a hiking partner because I don't live in your area, but I hope you'll give some thought to backtracking or bushwhacking even if you do find...
Aaron, On several of my solo hikes I have stashed a bicycle at one end so that the trip back to the car is faster. Ahead of time, consider the elevation...
On May 13, 2009 the DEC finally adopted the proposed amendments to the lands and forest regulations that had first been proposed in May of 2008. These new...
To be sure there is no confusion, let me calrify that these rules do not apply to the portion of the finger Lakes trail that runs through state land under the...

Greetings hikers, We (Cayuga Trails Club) received the e-mail below from our website today. I'd be very interested in how you might respond to it. If you ...
Roger, I would certainly agree that this e-mail expresses the types of questions that a potential FLTC or local trails club member might have, and on the...
What are the demographics of the FLTC and the associated clubs? Communicating by snail mail and newspaper may be reaching current members, but young people,...
The FLTC membership is generally a more "mature" group from the age perspective. Fewer younger people "join" the organization, though we don't have a good...
ADK-Onondaga just put info. on Facebook and may do so on Twitter. (Being "old", I've never used them.) Jon Bowen ... [Non-text portions of this message have...
Certainly, any way to get word out to new people is worth pursuing. I think the original question concerned how to welcome newcomers and make certain they...

I'm a new "younger" member and would LOVE to see a meet & greet :) I found the FLTC info at EMS and Gander Mountain and that was great to turn me on to the...
Dawn, I like your idea of a meet and greet. Were you thinking of something at one of the outdoor stores (just to meet other hikers or potential hikers perhaps...
My response would refer this person to the Finger Lakes Trail Conference web site: www.fingerlakestrail.org and the button on the site "Hiking 101 - Sampler...

A question that keeps coming to me about hiking is this:" Is hiking a low or high carbon footprint activity?". Driving many miles to hike has a funny feel to...
That's an uncomfortable question!? I guess I'd have to say that, for an individual, it's a high CF activity. certainly higher than cycling, jogging, etc.? But...
