CATSKILL Hike Before Work!
Overlook Mountain Fire Tower
Friday 8-August - 6:15am
7.7km distance, 400 meters gain
(4.8 miles, 1300 feet)
Est. 2 hours - Map 141

Meetup Notes: BE EARLY. I won't likely have cell service at the trailhead to distinguish if you are running late or a no-show - so I will assume no-show.

Route Notes: Simple out and back along the fire road!

Pace Note: This will be done at an above average pace with the intent of finishing in 2 hours. Everyone is welcome to attend, but please note that no one is obligated to wait for slower hikers, including the host. Please be prepared to self navigate should you become separated.

The DEC limits group size in the Slide Mountain Wilderness to 20.
