With a little luck there may still be some fall color remaining at the lower elevations\, although higher up will probably be into “stick season”. This is a strenuous hike with 2800 feet of elevation gain over 10 miles. \n\n\n\nThis hike is being presented in conjunction with the Catskill 3500 Club and the Adirondack Mountain Club. We strongly encourage you to join one or both of these clubs. \n\n\n\nContact Ed to reserve your spot on this challenging hike. Please share a sentence or two about your recent hiking experience.

The ledges on North Dome are notorious and can be a major obstacle for the uninitiated. The summits themselves are view-less\, but there are spectacular viewpoints near both summits. \n\n\n\nThis is a challenging hike covering nearly 10 miles with 3300 feet of elevation gain. Most of the hike is off-trail (i.e.\, “bushwhacking”). \n\n\n\nThis 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. \n\n\n\nContact Ed to reserve your spot.
