Hosted Weekend – Celebration of Raymond H. Torrey

Raymond Torrey, who was our first Chair, was also the co-founder of the Trail Conference and its first Secretary, a position he held until his untimely death (on his birthday, July 28th) in 1938 at age 58. With efforts spearheaded by Torrey and the Trail Conference, the first trails in Harriman State Park were blazed. During all these years, Raymond Torrey published his Long Brown Path newspaper articles promoting all the trails being built in Harriman State Park

There will be a short presentation about Raymond Torrey after dinner on Saturday. A hike to the Torrey Memorial on Long Mountain (with a stop at Turkey Hill Lake) is planned for Sunday after breakfast (start time about 10:30).
