Join Josh Grosse, Student
Conservation Association/AmeriCorps Environmental Educator, for a peaceful,
six-mile hike to the iconic Rainbow Falls. Participants will meet at the Lower
Parking Area, where we will select a nature themed meditation card, setting a
mindful intention for our journey. Our hike will begin on Mossy Glen Footpath — a
meandering trail lined with lush mountain laurel that crisscrosses the babbling
Peter's Kill. We will then take a short, uphill stretch of Blueberry Run
Footpath to connect with Upper Awosting Carriage Road. Then, we will walk to
the upper entrance of the Rainbow Falls Footpath, which features a natural
staircase descending into a sea of greenery. As we arrive at Rainbow Falls, we
will take time to reflect on our meditation card while enjoying the calming
sound and cool mist offered by the waterfall. Our return trip will continue
along the remainder of Rainbow Falls Footpath, which features a moderate rock
scramble. We will connect with Lower Awosting Carriage Road, which we will
follow until we reach our starting point at the Lower Parking Area. Some sections of trail may
be muddy and wet. Participants are highly encouraged to wear hiking boots and bring
plenty of food and water. You may also bring a journal
and writing utensil to assist in your reflections. Meet at the Lower Parking
Area. Pre-registration is required by calling the Lake
Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752.
