DESCRIPTION

Join Finger Lakes Land Trust Director of Stewardship Chris Olney for a guided hike at the new Sims-Jennings Preserve at Cayuga Cliffs in Lansing.

The terrain and slopes are moderate, with an optional descent onto steeper terrain to a bluff above the lakeshore.

The hike distance will be 1.8 miles for the whole group, and an additional 0.4 miles for anyone who opts to go down to the lake bluff and back.
