Details:
Join Docent Victor Castro on this 3-mile strenuous (3-sneaker) walk. The walk begins with an incline up a gravel path on the eastern side of the mountain, leading to the ridgeline. The walk continues on a multi-terrain path, south on the ridge out to an overlook; here we will rest a few minuets, check out the scenery, and have a snack if you wish. The walk continues up and down over a wooded, grassy & stony, stream filled area on the eastern part of the mountain where we will re-connect with the ridge trail, heading north back to the beginning of the trail and then down the hill to the parking area.
This is a photography walk, so bring along a camera.
Walkers should meet at the end of Johnsontown Road in Sloatsburg (10974). There is a circular parking area there.
Directions: New York State Thruway Route 87 heading north, get off at exit 15A, at the end of the exit make a left onto Route 17 (heading North). Drive through the town making a right at the light onto Seven Lakes Drive. Just after the overpass there will be a slight left onto Johnsontown Road. Follow the road until you reach the end.
