Indian Head and Twin
2023-07-06 00:00 - 23:59
The July Catskill social series hike steps up the challenge with an ascent of Indian Head and Twin Mountains, the two eastern-most peaks on the renowned Devils Path. The trail may have a threatening name, but the views on this hike are sublime. This hike of Indian Head and Twin includes some rough sections of trail with difficult scrambles and may not be suitable for novices unless in good shape with recent mountain-hiking experience. If you are not sure, please don’t be shy about asking and we’ll be happy to advise you.

This hike is being presented in conjunction with the Adirondack Mountain Club. We strongly encourage you to consider joining the ADK.

Contact Ed to reserve your spot. Please share a sentence or two about your recent hiking experience.

Bearpen and Vly Mountains - Social Series
2023-06-08 08:00 - 17:00
Our June social series hike will be to Bearpen and Vly Mountains. Considered trail-less summits, these will feel very much like trailed hikes. After an interesting hike to the summit canister on Vly Mountain, we’ll proceed to Bearpen Mountain where we’ll enjoy some unique views of the Schoharie Valley, as well as remains from an abandoned ski area near the summit. The hike is a workout at 6.5 miles and nearly 2100 feet of elevation gain, but much of the climbing is relatively gentle compared to most Catskill high peaks.

This 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.

Contact Ed to reserve your spot on this fun, but challenging hike. Please share a sentence or two about your recent hiking experience.

National Trails Day Social Hike LI
2023-06-03 08:00 - 11:30
Join us on National Trails Day for a fun hike I am leading for the Adirondack Mountain Club in Sunken Meadow State Park on the north shore of Long Island.

This hike will include the famous bluffs as well as trails in parts of the park that most people never visit. It will be a moderately strenuous hike as we will cover 6.5 miles and 1100 feet of elevation gain while aiming for a pace of around 2 mph. The hills and remote feel of the trails (despite being close to roads and homes) provide an experience reminiscent of Harriman State Park. Some of the hills are steep and there are a couple of spots that feature tricky footing. Dress for the weather, wear sturdy hiking shoes or boots and bring at least a liter of water.

For registration details, see the ADK Long Island Website

Our May 2023 social series hike will be a challenging bushwhack of Friday and Balsam Cap Mountains in the Catskill Mountains. The climb to Friday Mountain is quite steep and gains a lot of elevation.

These two trail-less peaks are required summits for membership in the Catskill 3500 club.

This 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.Contact Ed to reserve your spot on this fun, but challenging hike. Please share a sentence or two about your recent hiking experience.

Join us for this relaxed pace hike of Windham High Peak in the Catskills. Windham High Peak is one of the less strenuous Catskill high peaks to climb, but at 6 miles round-trip with nearly 1500 feet of elevation gain, it is a good workout. Depending on trail conditions, spikes may still be needed.

This strenuous winter hike will cover 8 miles and nearly 3000 feet of elevation gain. Snowshoes and spikes are required.

Halcott Mountain - Social Series
2023-01-05 09:00 - 15:00
Start the New Year with a guided bushwhack to the 3509 foot summit of Halcott Mountain in the Catskills. Distance-wise this is one of the shortest Catskill High Peak hikes, but not the easiest. The 1800 foot elevation gain to the summit includes some very steep terrain and will require traction (spikes/trail crampons) and snowshoes.

This 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.

Contact Ed to reserve your spot on this challenging hike. Please share a sentence or two about your recent hiking experience.

Rusk and Hunter Mt - Social Series
2022-12-08 08:00 - 17:00
Our December social series event in the Catskills is a combined bushwhack and trailed hike to Rusk and Hunter Mountains. The first part of the day is a guided bushwhack of Rusk Mountain. Rusk isn’t far, but very steep as the route climbs 1400 feet in just over a mile to the 3700 foot summit. From there we’ll descend to the relatively easier Spruceton trail and ascend another 1800 feet to the Hunter Mountain summit fire tower. At 4030 feet, Hunter is the second highest peak in the Catskills.

The hike is strenuous and will total 10 miles with 3400 feet of elevation gain and will require full winter gear (including spikes and snowshoes).

This 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.

Balsam Lake Mountain – Social Series
2022-11-10 08:00 - 17:00
Our November social series hike returns to Balsam Lake Mountain and it’s iconic fire tower. At 3729 feet elevation, Balsam lake Mountain is the 14th highest on the Catskill 3500 list. The fire tower is also part of both the Catskills Fire Tower Challenge and the ADK Fire Tower Challenge. This hike of 6 miles with 1250 feet of elevation gain will follow one of the least strenuous routes to a Catskill high peak and may be suitable for fit beginners. Much of the hike is on an old woods road with a gradual, but steady ascent. Will we have early season snow and ice or a beautiful fall day? Too soon to tell but be ready with appropriate gear.

This 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.
