One of the best hikes on Long Island!  This section of the Nassau-Suffolk Greenbelt Trail has some nice hills to make sure we get a great workout.  We’ll head to Rte 108 taking the Uplands West Loop, which adds about one-half mile to the trip, then return using the more direct route.  The winter views of the harbor along the way are gorgeous.  Bring water and trail snacks.  A hiking pole is recommended.  Heavy rain or snow cancels, light rain or snow does not; call morning of hike if unsure.  Directions:  We’ll meet at the Nassau-Suffolk Greenbelt Trailhead on Harbor Rd. (NY 25A) in Cold Spring Harbor, in the unpaved parking lot adjacent to the Cold Spring Harbor Library.
