Join Amy for a solo hike -- actually, eight solo hikes in one day! -- to earn a patch in the Great 8 Challenge at the Wilton Wildlife Preserve & Park in Wilton, NY. From abandoned summer camp buildings to broken-down school buses, from swarms of bugs to beautiful flora and fauna, there's something for just about everyone at this park. (Okay, the bugs were not much fun. But the rest of the hike was!) See you on the trail to find out what makes this part of New York State so great.
Visit Wilton Wildlife Preserve & Park:
- Address: 80 Scout Rd, Wilton, NY 12831
- Trails open daily, dawn to dusk
