Our first outing is scheduled for this Saturday, January 4th. Elephant’s Head is a nice easy/moderate climb just south of Malone. The total length of the trip is 4.2 miles with an elevation gain of 577 feet. We anticipate a nice dumping of snow over the next few days. You can choose to ski, snowshoe, or both. The first 1.5 miles takes you up a road with a gradual slope – great for skiing or snowshoeing. At this point, the trail to the summit of Elephant’s Head begins – here, the trail becomes more narrow and is moderately steep in sections; this section could be challenging for skis; snowshoes are recommended for this portion of the trip. It’s about .7 miles to the summit of Elephant’s Head. There is a nice view of Lake Titus. Please contact Marjorie at (518) 319-4411 or marjoriekelting@gmail.com for details.
