Hike #5919 – Boonville to Whetstone Gulf/Pixley Falls – 4/17/2011
The following went on the April 17 2011 hike. Harold Pier (co-ldr), Nancy Coleman and Paul Fortin (ldr) Instead of a bike ride, we hiked the BRIEA Canal Trail starting at the End of the Trail trailhead on Rt 46, Gorge Rd. the hike was to Pixley Falls State park and about a mile beyond the park’s entrance. Our return took us the falls, which were roaring b/c of the past 12 or so hrs of rain and remaining snow run off. We continued to tramp the 1 mile loop along Lansing Kill, which had class one rapids, an unusual site for that usually serene stream, up the hillside back to the parking area. There is a Inukshuk and a cairn along a bourn coming down the hill. This would be a fine moderate snowshoe. We then walked to our vehicle.
