This hike is almost identical as the other hike that will be taking place that same day, but without the harder hiking up the Duck Pond Trail. We will be traveling up to the Mountain House as travelers did in years past by horse and buggy from the train station in New Paltz. Sky Top Tower will serve as our beacon throughout the day, as will be taking in majestic views of the tower the entire day. The trails and carriage roads leading up to the Mountain House will be the focus of this moderate hike, while hiking through forested areas that the pioneers once traveled. *Note: Pre-registration with overnight reservation is required. Space is limited.
