Schunemunk 18 miles loop

No location was chosen

The Schunemunk park has 25 miles of trails, last time we did this hike we managed to cover 18 miles ( with very little overlap).  It is a loop, so no car shuffle is is necessary.

 

Length: 18 miles

Duration 11-12 hours

Meeting point: Parking lot  south of the long path

Warning:    This a strenuous, fast paced hike. It has several very steep ascends and descends. It is not recommended  for beginners.  Hiking poles  are strongly recommended, there are several spots  when they are very useful.

Headlamps or flashlights are mandatory.  Please bring your own maps, there are several bailout points in case you can't finish the whole hike, but you need to have your own map with you !

 

Otherwise, it is a really nice hike with lots of views and great terrain features.

    If anyone wants to get some more hiking in, Woodbury Commons shopping center nearby has the following gear merchants: Under Armor, Columbia, NorthFace. Their Columbia store had great deals on jackets and shells when I was there.

    I can't make this hike - but the other day I volunteered to be the trail maintainer for the section of the Jessup Trail beginning at the confluence with the Barton Swamp Trail and ending with its intersection with the Western Ridge Trail.

    If you wouldn't mind telling me about any problems on that part of the trail - or any part for that matter - I would appreciate it.
