Overview

The Delaware Ridge Trails are not heavily used or maintained ! There will be lots of ascents & descents but the mountains are not very high. That said this trip will provide the backpacker with a wilderness experience unlike more heavily used Catskills trails. Join us for this peak experience and expect solitude and minimally maintained trails. Total 30 miles: 12.7 day one, 10.6 day two & 6.7 miles the last day with the expectation of adjusting the mileage to suit the wishes of the group that needs to stay together. Participants will meet before dark Thursday 9/12 to do the car shuttle and camp overnight. Or participants will meet the group at the Big Pond trailhead 8 AM Fiday morning 9/13.
