Join Laura Conner,
Environmental Educator for a moderate, four-mile hike to Echo Rock and
Patterson's Pellet, two cliff-edge, scenic vantage points on either side of the
Palmaghatt Ravine. Scenic views of the distant Hudson Valley and near views of
the pristine forest in the Ravine below are abundant on this route. Our walk
will begin on Starting along the Lake Minnewaska Carriage Road, we'll walk to
Millbrook Carriage Road. We'll continue on this route until we reach
Patterson's Pellet, a glacial erratic boulder perched on a cliff edge. From
this scenic point, New Jersey can be seen on a clear day. Next, we'll backtrack
until we hit Hamilton Point Carriage Road, which we'll follow until we reach
Echo Rock. Here, we'll eat lunch and relax before returning to the Visitor
Center. The approximate total distance for this outing is five miles. Meet at the Lake Minnewaska
Visitor Center. Pre-registration is required by calling the Lake Minnewaska
