Saturday – June 3, 9:30 a.m. – Hike to Poet's Ledge from Twilight Park

Join the MTHS for a guided all-day hike to Poet’s Ledge from Twilight Park, led by Nick Lemann. This is a woods walk that crosses over streams and above the ravines that cascade into the Kaaterskill Clove, which leads to a beautiful view. We will cross above Santa Cruz, Buttermilk, Wildcat, and Viola Falls on a trail that leads to Poet’s Ledge, the well-known viewpoint looking west up the Clove. Come prepared for some wet or muddy conditions, rocky trails. Bring plenty of water, snacks, lunch, bug spray. Sturdy shoes or hiking boots and long pants are highly recommended. Bring trekking poles if you have them. We reserve the right to ask hikers to drop out if they are not properly prepared for challenging conditions.

Rating: moderately difficult due to length and terrain; minimal elevation gain. Length: 6 miles round trip. The hike will be canceled in case of rain. Limit: 20 hikers. Advance registration by June 2 at 12 noon with the MTHS is required at mthsdirector@mths.org or call 518-589-6657.

Meet at the MTHS KRT parking lot (5132 Route 23A) for 9:30 sign-in and carpooling arrangements (parking at the trailhead in Twilight is limited).
