Join us for an ambitious loop of Rusk, Hunter, and Southwest Hunter Mountains. We’ll find the canisters on Rusk and Southwest Hunter and visit the fire tower on Hunter Mountain. The fall time change will have happened and we’ll need need to move at a moderate to brisk pace to complete this hike before sunset. We’ll cover 12 miles with approximately 3700 feet of elevation gain. This hike is for strong hikers in good shape. Registration by November 2. Leader: Ed Moran1 attendee
Rusk and Westkill Mountains

Join us on December 3 for a pre-winter hike of Rusk and Westkill Mountains in the Catskills. Starting from the same parking area, we’ll do out and back hikes in two separate directions. The total distance for both will be 10.5 miles with 3700 feet of total elevation gain. Rusk Mountain includes a steep 1-mile bushwhack. The days are short in December and we’ll need to keep moving; it won’t be a race but we’ll need to maintain a moderate to brisk pace with relatively few breaks. Mid November to mid December is regular hunting season in the Catskills so wear your blaze orange or blaze pink colors. Anticipate that we will need spikes due to icy conditions and potentially even snowshoes. This hike is for strong hikers in good shape.Registration by December 1.
