On this beautiful fall day eleven of us reached the Burlingame trailhead but first had to fight the high winds in the field! We hiked the Sherman’s Gulch trail and looped around Atwell’s Knoll.  As a special surprise we walked along the Burlingame Road for a ½ mile until we reached another part of the Sherman’s Gulch and Cassie’s Loop.

We hiked along the edge of the gulch that was formed 400 million years ago.  There you will find a beautiful waterfall and fossils in the rocks including snails, brachiopods and trilobites.

The public trails are a land donation to Cazenovia Preservation Foundation (CPF) in 1993 and 2005. All together we hiked 5 miles.
