Morning Light on the Cliff: Hike the Beacon Hill and Lake Minnewaska Loop at Minnewaska

Sunday, November 24, 2024 10:30 AM - 01:00 PM

Join Laura Conner, Environmental Educator, for an approximately three-mile loop hike on the Beacon Hill Carriage Road, Beacon Hill Footpath, and Lake Minnewaska Carriage Road. Starting at the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center, we'll walk to the Beacon Hill Carriage Road, a cool and quiet route through the woods with a gorgeous view at the end. Next, we'll hike along the cliff-edge Beacon Hill Footpath, which features stunning views of the Wallkill Valley. Once we finish the hike, we'll walk along the Lake Minnewaska Carriage Road, heading around the south and then the west side of the Lake. The footpath section of this hike includes sections of bare rock, bare soil with tree roots and short sections of continuous uphill that some may find challenging. Participants should bring water and snacks and wear appropriate hiking shoes. Meet at the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center. Pre-registration is required by calling the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752.
