Indian Head Wilderness, Catskill Mtns.,
New York, Catskills,
NY
We'll pull pulk sleds or carry backpacks about 2 miles to basecamp at the Devil's Kitchen Lean-to in the 11,500-acre Indian Head Wilderness on the eastern escarpment of the Catskill Mountains. Day hikes: (1) Indian Head Mtn. [5 mi. RT; @1272 ft. ascent] on Mar. 3rd, (2) Plattekill Mtn. (bushwhack), Echo Lake & Overlook Mtn. (trail) [@9.5 mi. RT; @1640 ft. total ascent] on Mar. 4th and (3) Kaaterskill High Peak [9.4 mi. RT; 1705 ft. ascent] on Mar. 5th. This area is rugged and Winter trail conditions are uncertain, so we may have to modify these hikes. But we'll still enjoy hiking in beautiful surroundings with great views. This outing is for experienced Winter hikers who have all the necessary gear. Group size limited to 7 participants + 2 leaders. The Club's Covid-19 policy will be adhered to on this trip.
