Leisurely Labor Day Hike at Minnewaska
Monday, September 2, 2024 09:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Join Josh Grosse, Student Conservation
Association/AmeriCorps Environmental Educator, for a three-and-a-half-mile hike on
Mossy Glen Footpath and Lower Awosting Carriage Road. This loop hike includes
time on footpaths -- traditional trails, peppered with rocks and roots-- and
carriage roads -- easier, more level, gravel roads -- on the return trip. Mossy
Glen Footpath dances along the edge of the Peter's Kill stream, a cool-watered
stream that flows over pale, quartz-conglomerate, rock slabs. The trail offers
two bridge crossings, small waterfalls, and several chances to look at and
listen to the gently flowing, soothing stream. Treat yourself to a lovely,
easy-going walk this Labor Day morning, with enough time afterwards to grab a
bite to eat, relax, or move on to another fun activity. Participants are
encouraged to wear sturdy footwear, and bring water, bug spray, and a snack to
enjoy on the trail. Meet at the Lower Lot. Pre-registration is
required by calling the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752.
