Our Catskill social series continues on May 7 with this moderately long, but very challenging hike to Plateau and Sugarloaf mountains. The hike includes steep climbing and some scrambling on the famous “Devil’s Path” trail. The distance we’ll hike is a bit short of 6 miles, but the total ascent of roughly 2850 feet is over some rough trail where the downhill is no easier than the uphill. The deciduous trees will probably not have leafed out yet, but the ephemeral spring wildflowers should be abundant.
This hike is being presented in conjunction with the Adirondack Mountain Club and the Catskill 3500 Club. We strongly encourage you to consider joining these worthy organizations.
Contact Ed to reserve your spot. Please share a sentence or two about your recent hiking experience.
