Fall Hikes

Here is a message from Woodland Valley Hikers leader Paul Misko.

Attention Woodland Valley Hikers!

If you are game, mark your calendar for two hikes coming up this fall.

Saturday, October 3rd. Take a hike up Slide Mtn.,the Catskills highest peak, and learn some of it's history as you climb. This hike is about 6 miles, strenuous, and takes about 6 hours total. We will meet at the Slide Mtn. trailhead at 10:15 a.m. To get to the trailhead, take Rt. 28 to Big Indian, drive south on Rt. 47 toward Frost Valley about 9.4 miles, to the Slide Mtn. trailhead parking lot on the left.

Saturday, October 10th. Join the Woodland Valley Hikers on a hike up the Wittenberg. Learn the fascinating, funny, and mildly disturbing history of this mountain as we climb. This 8 mile hike is VERY strenuous, and it will be about 8 hours total, but the view is fantastic. We will meet at the Woodland Valley Campground Day Use Parking Lot at 9:30 a.m. This is located at near the end of Woodland Valley Road, on the right hand side, at the beginning of the campground.

You must register for each hike by the day before the hike at woodvalleybear@gmail.com because group size is limited, and details may change. For the hike you must have good hiking shoes, rain jacket, sweater, flashlight, lighter, food, and plenty to drink. Walking stick and camera highly recommended. No Pooches Please.
