Full Moon Backpack of Allen Mountain

Join us for a two-night fully guided backpack of Allen Mountain. This trip is scheduled for Tuesday July 16 - Thursday July 18. The midweek hiking should provide us with solitude and the full moon will add an additional sense of wonder to the evenings. All meals and group gear will be provided by your enthusiastic New York State licensed guide. The entire hike is 19 miles with 4000 feet of elevation gain, but we'll sandwich a moderate backpack around a day-hike of approximately 5 miles to the summit. Although a short distance, the hike from our campsite to the summit will be very strenuous as we climb the steep and sometimes slippery route near the Allen Brook. The hot meal back at our campsite will be well earned. The cost for this trip is $400. Tap for more information.
