MACRICOSTAS MIDNIGHT HIKE: Join members of the Adventure Club on a “midnight hike” starting at 6:30 p.m. at the below location. Make sure to follow the instructions below if you want to participate.

Macricostas Preserve Coordinates: 41.682860, -73.333694

What to wear:

• Footwear with grippy soles
• Shorts/pants appropriate for hiking

What to consider:

• Snack/dinner/something to eat
• First aid kit
• Trekking poles

What to avoid:

• Cotton. It kills. It does not wick moisture and it does not dry.

What to bring:

• Small backpack/day pack
• Preferably a headlamp. If not available, a flashlight. The phone should NOT be your light source
• Water
• Long sleeve shirt/light sweatshirt for when the sun sets

Words of advice:

• The ascent is steep. Avoid sweating by managing your layers while hiking. The ground may be wet or slippery. Flat-soled shoes are guaranteed to have you on your rear end. Leave them home.
• The Pinnacle is exposed. There is always a breeze and it will get colder when the sun goes down. A headlamp offers a hands-free operation. You will need your hands to maintain your balance during the descent or to hold on to your trekking poles.
• Leave No Trace. Pack out what you pack in. Finally, remember to stay up to date with information and cancellations on the WAC Instagram (@wcsu_wac)
