"Here are some photos from the Woodland Valley Hikers walk up Slide Mtn. this past Sunday. We met at 10:00 a.m. at the trailhead parking lot, where we met author Dave White and his group. Dave and his wife Carol have written several books about hiking in the Catskills and Adirondacks, and have produced the most accurate Catskill Trail Guide available. We combined groups so everyone got to hear my history talk, as well as Dave's many interesting comments on trails and peaks. We hiked up via the longer Curtis-Ormsby trail, which provides an easier grade and is much more scenic. Thanks to clear skies, the views from the summit were fantastic, and the leaves were at their peak. The pictures show the balsam lined trail near the top, the combined group, and a leisurely lunch featuring Camilo's toasted sandwich, which made our limp sandwiches pale in comparison. Even though the cold weather is coming, there may still be a hike or two this year. Think about joining us and sharing a good time on the trails."
