Founded in 1921 by 23 uticans.... the tramp and trail club of utica is the oldest hiking club in new york state.

With 250 members strong.... members are from a 75 mile radius of utica.

They have met at least weekly for 100 years.... to either hike.... snowshoe.... cross-country ski.... bike.... even canoe and kayak.

The group ventures to all areas of new york state and beyond.

So to mark the 100 years..... they are celebrating with a hike on saturday, april 24th, leaving roscoe conkling park at 10:30am.

They're looking to retrace the route of their first hike in 1921 to utica's cascade-glen area.

Participation is free and open to all adults and children.... if accompanied by an adult.

They also have two extended hiking trips planned during the year.
