Forget about the first day of Spring- the weather doesn't start to get really nice in the woods around Ithaca until mid-April. Join the Sunday Hikers, an informal group that hikes every week, to kick off the good-weather hiking season for 2012 & celebrate Earth Day with a walk up the Abbott Loop to The Pinnacles. Friendly dogs welcome. We meet at 9:30 a.m. and hike for about 2 hours. We'll take the more picturesque southern leg of the Abbott Loop up to the lookout. This is an uphill route, with lots of ups and downs along the way. It takes us through gorgeous scenery, and if you walk fast you can make it up and back to The Pinnacles for great views over West Danby in a little more than two hours. Contact the hike leader with any questions.
