Second Annual Haunted Hike - the night before Halloween. Meet at the Beaver Meadow Trail at 6 PM. Lantern lit hike into Beaver Meadow Lodge; where we will spend the night in the cabin, heated by a wood stove. Hot cider provided, bring your own camping gear and food. Beaver Meadow Trail is a gradual, relatively easy trail, so this is a good trip for families with kids . . . Led by Greg Western.
