With eight fords of North River, it can be a challenge when the water is high. From the parking area head down the yellow blazed connector trail as it descends steeply to the purple blazed North River Gorge Trail in 0.1 miles. Turn left on the purple blazed trail and ford North River in 200 yards. NOTE: You are required to ford North River 9 more times in the final 4.2 mile section of this hike.
Daylight Saving vs. Standard Time. When including time zones, many writers in the United States prefer to specify whether it is Daylight Saving or Standard Time (abbreviated EDT and EST, respectively, for the Eastern time zone). Daylight Saving Time, which refers to when we âspring aheadâ by one hour, begins in the U.S. in late winter. It ends during fall when we switch to Standard Time by âfalling backâ one hour. You can learn more about Daylight Saving Time, including upcoming beginning and end dates at timeanddate.com/time/dst.
The Uniform Time Act of 1966 provided the basic framework for alternating between daylight saving time and standard time, which we now observe in the United States. But Congress can't seem to resist tinkering with it. For example, in 1973 daylight saving time was observed all year, instead of just the spring and summer. The system of beginning DST at 2 AM on the first Sunday in April and ending it at 2 AM on the last Sunday in October was not standardized until 1986. The rules changed again in 2007. DST now begins on the second Sunday of March and ends the first Sunday in November.
