Hike Details:
This is an out-and-back hike along a route where hunting is not allowed. There are Short and Long options:
The Short Option eliminates the climb from downtown to the Cornell Campus, reducing the round-trip distance to 3 miles. The short option is flat and is rated easy.
The Long Option goes for 7 miles. It is rated moderate due to the climb from downtown to the Cornell campus.
The route will be on well-developed walking paths and city streets. Since this is an in-town out-and-back hike, hikers are welcome to turn around whenever they want.
