COLTON – Nature Up North leads a fall colors hike at Stone Valley at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 10 starting from the Stone Valley Trail trailhead at River Street.

They will walk to admire the bright autumn leaves and cascading falls on this three-mile out and back hike. Along the way there will be a discussion of the science behind leaf color change, and what the timing of fall foliage means for forest health. Good walking shoes, a rain jacket, extra water, and a camera are recommended.

This hike will be led by students in St. Lawrence University’s Communicating Nature class.

They will meet at the River Street trailhead for Stone Valley in Colton. If traveling from Canton/Potsdam, trailhead parking is on the left after the Colton Hepburn Library. If you cross over the Raquette River you've gone too far.
