Autumn Hike with Rev. Andrée — A Few Spots Remain!
Saturday, November 7 | 10:00 am–1:00 pm | Sterling Forest State Park, Rockland County, NY
Spend some time in nature this autumn and join Rev. Andrée for a group hike at Sterling Forest State Park, just over the border in Rockland County, NY. The 4.2-mile trail around Sterling Lake takes about 2–3 hours and includes some steep inclines and rocky sections. Depending on the weather, the trail may also be muddy.
The hike is open to all ages, and we’ll stay together as a group so everyone can complete the hike together.
There’s still room to join! Space is limited to 20 people. If you’re interested, please contact Rev. Andrée at revandree@cucwestwood.org.
