We’re hoping for some good snow depth!

REGISTRATION: Pre-Registration via email is required, as group size is limited due to hike being in a Wilderness Area
FEE: Free (tips are appreciated if you enjoy the hike)
EQUIPMENT: Depending on snow conditions bring your own microspikes or snowshoes and proper hiking gear

Join Hike On Guides as we climb Westkill Mountain (elevation 3,898’), one of the Catskill Mountains 35 peaks above 3500 feet and part of the Catskill 3500. We’ll maintain a relaxed pace on this 7.1 mile hike with approximately 1965’ of elevation gain. Hikers will be rewarded (weather conditions permitting) with an excellent view from the Buck Ridge Lookout just below the summit.

This hike follows a relatively steep route and will be icy and likely to be snow covered.

Attendees should be dressed properly in winter outerwear, synthetic layered clothing, wearing proper footwear and bring their own microspikes or snowshoes.

Any questions about the specific clothing or gear items should be directed to hikeonguides@gmail.com or 508-277-3172. Details about the meeting location will be provided after registration.
