Corning Hiking Club

CHC was a club that met every Sunday Morning... 7am... Year-Round @ the Corning Public Parking Lot next to McDonald's (but not the McDonald's parking lot!). Everyone was invited! This schedule may return. For the meantime, however, club hours have been de-specified. If you'ld like to arrange a hike, please contact me ahead of time and we'll work something out. See you soon!

Corning's loop of rivers and railroads




fuzzy message

Nov. 5th and 12th's hikes were great!

On the 5th, I randomly started out by walking North and ended up in the neighborhoods behind Salvation Army. Train tracks cut through and I walked them East until I could see the Rt. 17 exit. Hidden underpass hang-outs, graffiti, industrial zone's backyard, civil-engineering... interesting waterways. I like seeing the city from different angles... there are a ton of little nooks that I'd never notice from a car!

This past Sunday I headed to the river and continued walking East- passing Denison Park, a flock of geese, "Christ is the Answer," a squatters trail, and... emerging in East Corning. I never noticed the big mounded-off hump of land next to CBC. That's where the trail came out. There's a little league baseball field back there- who knew?
