Over the month of September, I have been leading ADK hikes in the local area after work on Wednesday nights. These all have been short (under 3 miles) with little elevation that can easily be done in an hour or so. Overall these seem to have been well received, and I will be continuing this, but in the spring. There probably will be a couple short local hikes, like maybe exploring the North end of Thatcher, on weekend days but nothing too intense.
Saturday I did a bunch of local hikes in the hopes of finding some things that can be done for ADK as after work type hikes. I started off with the Normanskill East pocket park. This is a tiny, only 0.5 mile loop, but pretty. Not much for something I'd do for ADK, but nice little place to escape if you only have half an hour.
