Join Hike On Guides as we take to the trails to raise money for the Catskill Center to help protect the Catskill Park. Funds raised will be used toward the Ridge Runner program. We will hike the Long Path thru the Catskills from Peekamoose Mountain to Windham High Peak over the course of 5 days. This will be a challenging undertaking and should only be attempted by those with backpacking experience as well as being able to hike 16+ miles for multiple days on end. On our journey we will tell the world why we love the Catskills and show visually what we are trying to protect. A fundraiser website will be set up on the Catskill Center webpage as well as Facebook. Attendees will be asked to tell this story on their own social media platforms and friends and family circles. Limited Spots Available.
Attendees should be dressed properly for variable conditions, synthetic layered clothing, and wearing proper footwear. Attendees should also bring food, water, shelter, water filter and anything else they would need to be comfortable in the woods. Resupply options will be at Phoenicia, Platte Clove and Pallenville.
Any questions about gear, terrain, food supplies should be directed to hikeonguides@gmail.com or 508-277-3172. Details about the meeting location will be provided after registration.
