The Sally Hike

Members of the Appalachian Mountain Club took 12 children hiking in Sterling Forest.  The children had the opportunity to see a former mine and the singular remaining home from a town developed by workers of the mine.  They also got to touch snakes, hike to the top of a fire tower, and test their limits.

Prior to her death, Sally Yarmolinsky worked at Union Settlement Association for over a decade and was a great lover of gardening and hiking.  She left a bequest for children to enjoy the great outdoors.  Each participant received a “Sally Hike” hat to commemorate the occasion.  We thank her for this opportunity!
