Join WTA in completing the Westchester 100, a project inspired by the publication of the "Walkable Westchester" book by Jane and Walt Daniels. We've compiled a list of almost all the hiking areas and trails mentioned in the book, and are sponsoring guided hikes to 99 of these locations. Hike No. 100 is to one or more mystery locations which are not referenced in the book. Check out our Westchester 100 hike list for details about this project, as well as an informational flyer about the book and WTA's joint effort with the authors to encourage hiking on our local trails. The project began with our fall schedule, and since then we have sponsored hikes on 23 different Westchester 100 trails. Our Spring 2010 schedule adds 7 new areas plus an additional 4 on routes that were also listed in our fall and winter schedules (some of these hikes had to be cancelled due to inclement weather), bringing the total so far to 30 hiking areas out of a possible 99.

Westchester 100 Publicity. WTA and our Westchester 100 project was featured in the January 11, 2010 edition of the Rye Record, in an article by reporter Paul Hicks (who, together with his wife, has hiked on many of the trails on our Westchester 100 list).
