The Blowdown of 2017

Please meet at the Park Office at 9:00 am for a challenging 425 vertical foot rise 2.4-mile hike to observe the impressive microburst damage of 2017 along the Joyce Kilmer Trail.  This is the storm that toppled the renowned Longfellow & Seneca Pines.  Although we hate to see these massive and ancient trees come down, leaving these hulking trees in place is a vital part of old-growth forest regeneration.  (3 hrs)

Due to COVID-19 restrictions all park programs are limited to 25 participants, mask must be on person, social distancing in effect.  All participants must register at the Park Office
