TURTLE HIKES SCHEDULE
The Rutland Recreation and Parks Department sponsors a series of “Turtle” hikes for seniors and others who wish to enjoy their outings at a somewhat slower and easier pace. The hikes typically cover two to four miles, involve limited elevation gain, and try to avoid treacherous footing. Bring water and a lunch, wear sturdy footwear, and be prepared for Vermont weather. Meet on Thursdays at 9 AM at the Godnick Adult Center on Deer Street off Woodstock Avenue. We return in early to mid-afternoon. Call leaders listed at the right below if you have questions. All are welcome
