Saranac Central Hiking Challenge


Saranac Central Hiking Challenge

 

This is a challenge open to any Saranac Central School student.  To complete this challenge, you must complete the first six trails below and submit the date hiked

and a picture of yourself on the trail.  For an additional challenge and a different patch, you need to complete and submit information for all seven trails.

 

Responsibility Guidelines

 

Know Before You Go: Check the status of the place you want to visit. If it is closed, don't go.

If it's crowded, have a backup plan.

 

Plan Ahead: Be aware of the weather and bring what you need.  Pack lunch, bring water,

have a first aid kit, wear bright colors during hunting season, and other essentials.  

 

Leave No Trace: Respect public lands and waters, as well as Native and local communities. Take all your garbage with you. Pack it in, pack it out and pack it home.

 

Build an Inclusive Outdoors: Be an active part of making the outdoors safe and welcoming

for all identities and abilities.
