On a clear sunny day ten participants — Ann Herting, Bob Daniels, Helaine Robinson, Gwen Beatty, Gary Sisco, Bob Tilden, Mary Alice Lindsey, Michael Lindsey, Sandra Schmid and leader Jerry Herting — hiked the Torreya Challenge Trail from the Park picnic area and returned for a total of 10 miles. During the winter season when most leaves have fallen, the large trees in Torreya State Park seem to stand taller. Several species stand out because of their distinct bark. These include the white oak, American beech, southern magnolia, and dogwood. Everyone completed the hike and there were no problems.
