Meditative Tuesday Trek to Millbrook Mountain at Minnewaska
Tuesday, July 9, 2024 09:30 AM - 02:00 PM
Join Josh Grosse, Student Conservation Association/AmeriCorps Environmental Educator with Laura Conner, Environmental Educator, for a five-mile, midweek hike to Millbrook Mountain and back, paired with optional meditative prompts. We will begin our hike by looking through a set of nature-themed meditation cards, which includes words of affirmation, walking thoughts, and other valuable insights and questions. Those who wish to participate can use their chosen card to set a thoughtful intention for the hike and will be given numerous opportunities to reflect on their prompt. Our hike will begin on the eastside of the Lake Minnewaska Carriage Road, which we will follow until we meet the Millbrook Mountain Footpath. This footpath, which includes tricky footing and steep hills, crosses a stream whose refreshing waters will cool the air around us. From there, the footpath ascends for about half-a-mile to the Millbrook Mountain overlook. Once here, we will stop to enjoy a snack and do some quiet reflection/optional sharing of our thoughts. We will follow the Millbrook Mountain Carriage Road back to the Visitor Center, passing the remarkable, cliff-edge boulder named Patterson's Pellet along the way. Participants should come prepared with appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear, plenty of water, and food to sustain themselves. Meet at the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center. Pre-registration is required by calling the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752.
