Hiking Mates of the Capital Region

Meet at the trailhead at 5PM. This is about a 3-mile trail near Altamont, generally an easy route. It's unlikely we'll encounter many other people. Highlights include lovely slightly obstructed views, woods, and limestone formations. AND hoping for wildflowers this time of year.
There are some steep and muddy spots - you should be in good shape, and dress appropriate.
Bring water, and bug spray - or bug repellent clothes, mostly for ticks this time of year. Check for ticks after the hike.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome, on a leach. Hike will take about 2 hours depending on the pace of the group.
Those wanting to carpool from Albany post a message.
If you bring a guest, make sure your guest understands the hike and is able to do it.
If you expect to be a bit late, please text or call me - my number is 518-231-7319.
I will reschedule for rain.
Hiking is an inherently dangerous activity. By attending, you agree you are responsible for yourself and are hiking at your own risk.

OK this beautiful hike up one the Catskills high peak with one best views at the summit. It is a 6.8 mile round trip hike and yes listed has closed by DEC because of a plane crash in November. Past hiker reports that the trail clear except wreckage and DEC planning open the trail May !. I would say as well please leave wreckage where it found as this may be open investigation site and plane aluminum is sharp and may cause a sever injuries.

The hike will start at 9 am at the trail site on route 23 it is a six mile steady hike with no scrambles. If anyone wants to car pool let me know and i can set up a meet up site. My Past experience with trail is the bottom section can be wet plan accordingly.

This is not beginner hiker but its a good next step if your looking more than beginner hikers. Please all gear necessary for your safety have sufficient water lunch and money if car pooling.

I may update has i learn more. Also pre do this trail for safety reasons
