Join Hike On Guides as we climb Bearpen Mountain (elevation 3,587’), one of the Catskill Mountains 35 peaks above 3500 feet and part of the Catskill 3500. We’ll maintain a relaxed pace on this 5 1/2 mile hike with approximately 1430’ of elevation gain. Hikers will be rewarded (weather conditions permitting) with an excellent views from near the summit.

This hike follows a steadily ascending former woods road. The route at this time of the year will likely be icy and snow covered so microspikes and/or snowshoes will most likely be required.

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