Father-Son Hike
Calling all Hawthorn dads and sons! Join us for a morning of fresh air, fall colors, and adventure on Saturday, October 24, at 10:00 a.m. at Turkey Mountain Nature Preserve in Yorktown Heights. Bring a water bottle—we’ll supply the snacks! Little brothers are welcome, too, but the trail is too strenuous for toddlers to tackle on their own, so come prepared to give them a lift. We hope to see you on the trail!
