Spring Hike @ Minnewaska State Park

Let's get out for a lovely spring hike. For this hike, we will drive about 2 hours north of NYC and do an 11.2 mile loop with an elevation gain of 1,100 feet. This hike is moderate to difficult depending on fitness level. Click here to see the trail map.

The weather forecast is looking great - sunny with highs in the 70s. The plan is to leave NYC around 9am and meet in the parking lot around 11am. The hike will take about 5-6 hours. Afterwards, there is the option to go eat and drink in New Paltz.

The number of attendees will be limited by the number of drivers who can take passengers. Please answer the rsvp question about whether or not you have a car and can take passengers. I will send out the carpool sheet Friday morning. Please expect to contribute $20-$30 to your driver if you are carpooling.

Everyone should bring some lunch, snacks, and at least two liters of water for the hike. As for gear, everyone should have good boots or sneakers. Dress in layers as you will warm up as we move and may need a layer if we stop.
