Speaker: 3:00-4:00 p.m. We are delighted to have Harold Kyle, Trails Chair for ADK-
ON, share his family’s summer trip with us. The Alpa Adria Trail is a 43-stage, 466-mile-long
hiking trail that opened in the southeastern Alps in 2012. The trail connects the Großglockner
glacier in Austria with the Adriatic Sea, meandering through Slovenia and Italy along the way.
Harold Kyle (and family) hiked the middle third of the Alpa Adria Trail this summer and will share
their experiences hiking inn-to-inn and exploring Slovenia. Along the way they found WWI
fortifications, mountaintop monasteries, alpine huts, and deep karst caves. The quieter side of
the Alps had fewer hikers but still offered spectacular scenery and fascinating landmarks.
Meeting: 4:00-5:00 followed by our Potluck Dinner. Please bring a dish to pass and your
own place setting.
