    I verify that I and any minor children accompanying me are able to participate in the activity competently and safely and will use due care, ordinary caution and common sense while participating in the activity.

    I agree to follow any safety instructions that have been provided to me.

    I am fully aware that I am engaging in this activity at my own risk and am responsible for any injuries or damages that may occur to myself, property or third parties while participating in the activity, including as a result of operation or use of any equipment.

    I release the Connecticut Forest & Park Association (CFPA) its officers, directors, employees, representatives, affiliates, agents, volunteers, and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on their behalf (“CFPA Parties”) from any liability that may arise from participation in the event and waive any and all claims against them and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on their behalf, including those resulting from my own negligence and/or the negligence of others, including CFPA and the CFPA Parties.

    Nothing herein shall supersede other agreements I have entered into with CFPA.

First – I have indicated that this is a “moderate” hike – and for the whole hike that is appropriate – although there will be some trap rock areas and some relatively steep areas – so for short parts the hike is a bit trickier than moderate. There may also be some short sections of bushwhacking (meaning off official trail). We will hike up to the Lamentation ridge. At that point we will head south on the New England Trail (blue blazed) to the area impacted by the Hawthorne Fire. Part of this section will be on Berlin Land Trust property. Most of the return to our cars will be back the way we came up.  I expect this hike to be around 5 miles and at least 500 vertical foot gain. This is a moderate hike – hiking gear such as proper footwear and water and a snack or lunch is desired. We will probably stop near noon at a lookout to rest and eat.
