hiking. Our base is at Holiday Valley's

the way up the mountain. From the village of Ellicottville, take Route
219 south a short distance before turning right onto Holiday Valley Road.
Continue up the hill past the Clubhouse Chalet Lodge, and turn left at
the signs for the Training Center or the nearby Yodeler Lodge. Starting
time for the 6-hour event is 11am and the 3-hour is 1pm. Questions?
