When: Friday December 5 - Sunday December  7, 2008

Where: Adirondack Park, upstate New York

As of January 31, 2008, if you travel to the United States by land or water, a United States law requires you to present:

• a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license
  AND a birth certificate or a citizenship card;
  OR
• a valid passport.

Sign-up Deadline: Friday November 7th @ 12:00 Noon

Cost: $125 per person; only 12 spots available. Participants must pay their fee to the Cash Office and submit their receipt to the Campus Rec Office to sign-up.

Mt. Marcy, Phelps, Algonquin, Wright Peak, and Haystack are just some of the 46 "High Peaks" in ADK Park, New York, and each year an adventurous group of Loyalist College students and staff make their way there to tackle one or two of them.

Winter is a beautiful and rewarding time to be outdoors, but its challenging conditions require taking special care. Hiking and backpacking in the winter is a strenuous activity and when coupled with mountain weather conditions which can change unexpectedly and rapidly, it's important to prepare properly.

If you are thinking of taking part in this activity but would like more information on what to expect and what to do to prep yourself for it, please contact Cory Mestre at 613.969.1913 x.2606
