We'll start at Sam's Point Area of Minnewaska State Park Preserve, home to one of the most spectacular overlooks in New York. Our hike will take us to the panoramic views at Sam's Point before continuing to the famous Ice Caves, a maze of narrow rock crevices, ladders, and cool passageways where patches of ice can often linger well into the warmer months thanks to a unique natural microclimate. It's unlike any other hike in the region. The classic route to the overlook and Ice Caves is about 3.4 miles round trip, This hike is considered moderate difficulty due to some rocky sections and ladders through the caves.
Even though this is not the most difficult hike, it has some moderately challenging parts. If yu are expecting an easy simple hike and are not ready for the challenge, DO NOT JOIN!
After, we'll head to Warwick Valley Winery, Distillery & Orchard to slow things down. If you do not drink, don't worry, there are plenty of non alcoholic options. We'll relax with locally made hard cider, wine, or spirits, grab a bite to eat, wander the orchard, and enjoy one of the Hudson Valley's favorite fall destinations.
We will meet on 61st and Madison ave and travel together (transportation provided).
The cost of the trip is $58.
