Fall Colors and Sunrise over the Catskills - Backpacking - Giant Ledge
Giant Ledge Trailhead, Phoenicia, NY, USWatch a sunrise from the most beautiful Catskills Ledge (multiple viewpoints) with views East and North East over the entire Catskills. (cover event photo of the blackhead range)
If you have backpacking gear and you have never backpacked this is probably the event that will get you hooked. If you backpacked before this event is suitable for all levels.
This is a 1 or 2 night backpack up to the Giant Ledge near Oliveria NY. After setting up you can sit back and relax or explore the ledge area.
You can complete an easy hike to Panther Mtn and back to camp during the afternoon as well.
The Hike. Its 1.5 miles one way to the top of the Giant Ledge resting at 3,200FT. The hike is about 70% uphill on a rocky trail and 30% flat.
Some people do the hike as a day hike with jeans or regular shorts, dresses, sneakers and all age groups are on the trail including all shapes and sizes of pets but PLEASE wear appropriate hiking clothes for this event.
The hike to the top of Panther Mtn (3,720ft) is 3 miles round trip and easy fun.
Here is the route for you to explore. https://caltopo.com/m/FJQBThis trip is suitable for all levels but you should be in shape and you must have all your camping gear packable in your backpack. You will get sweaty and you may get very thirsty. Make sure you bring a lot of water.
You MUST bring raincoat, food and water cooking pot and stove or prearrange with someone attending will to share with you. Headlamp or flashlight is an absolute must. You will need your own tent pad/mat and sleeping bag. There are many hammock spots. If you wish to cowboy camp thats fine.
We will make a fire so feel free to bring anything to cook on the fireplace such as beef, chicken, pork, ribs etc.... All foods will be kept packed and at night we will remove food from the camping location. Bring a bear bag, bear can, dry bag, or strong bag to keep you food in and at night we will hang it up a tree. This is a park of all backcountry camping rules to ensure our camp is kept clean and safe from animals for all to enjoy.
Pace: You can hike any pace the trail is clear and all intersections have signs with directions. I will be slow to moderate hiking to ensure there are no issue.SUNRISE VIEWING. Sunrise is at 530am.
There is a fresh spring before we get to the top go the Ledge to fill up anytime you need water. I might make 1-2 trips there myself during the day.
There is also reliable service at camp but NOT at the parking lot.
You are being held responsible for your own actions and gear. You alone must ensure that you act responsibly for your well being and for those on the trip.
