Description

Sentiero Di Shay is Italian for "The Path of the Shay. This hike described in the Black Forest Trail Guide Book as follows:

"The Sentiero Di Shay is 13.4 Miles long. This is a good trail for children. The loop trail parallels Route 44 with one portion being on the east side and the other on the west side. One can make other loops by cutting across country on the unmarked trails and State Forest roads.

"The highlights of this trail are the cuts and fills on the railroad grades, the fire trails, the open meadows and the diverse forests."

We'll spend Friday evening at a campsite near by (TBA), and head out Saturday morning to do about 7 miles to the intersection with the Francis X. Kennedy X-country ski trail. Those desiring a longer hike can do that 5 mile loop. Sunday we will complete the rest of the Shay trail. Roughly 6 miles or so.

This is not a buttkicker in keeping with my own limitations and conditioning. But it sounds to be a good hike and the chance for a couple more bag nights in July. Iff'n you want a buttkicker.... head to the Daks for the 14er. Otherwise, I would love to have you join me for this.
