Celebrate Dennis C. birthday with a rock scramble up the Popolopen Torne . Be prepared to use both hands and feet as we climb at a leisurely pace, for this fun hike with beautiful overlooks of the Hudson Valley. The hike is about 6.5 miles . We will be leaving at 10 am sharp !. The group will be going through the bear mountain zoo over to Fort Montgomery. Please keep up with the group and don't stop in the zoo. On the way back you may take all the time you desire to explore the zoo. The hike to Fort Montgomery is less than 1.5 miles and is very interesting to walk around. The hiking group may want to seperate there. We will then go to 2.5 miles , 1000 ft elevation back and forth to Popolopen Torne. There will be no sweep, if you are uncomfortable with it , this may not be a hike for you. Bring plenty of water and snacks to enjoy, while soaking up the view at the top of the mountain. Afterwords there will be a celebration of Dennis birthday by the lake . Please feel free to bring snacks , dessert 🍨 😋 or whatever you desire to share.
