Tuesday Trek: Hike to Echo Rock and Patterson’s Pellet at Minnewaska

Tuesday, December 17, 2024 09:30 AM - 01:30 PM

Join Laura Conner, Environmental Educator, for a walk along four carriage roads to reach the picturesque Echo Rock and Patterson's Pellet scenic views. Carriage road walking is relatively easy, featuring a level, gravel surface. As such, this walk may be a good fit for people who are less comfortable with the uneven terrain of footpaths, but still enjoy walking in the woods. From Echo Rock, both Gertrude's Nose and Patterson's Pellet can be seen in the distance across the steep-sided Palmaghatt Ravine. From Patterson's Pellet, on a clear day, we'll see the stone tower at High Point State Park in New Jersey. This approximately six-mile round trip walk is a great way to warm up, get outside and fight cabin fever. If ski trails are being groomed, this outing location will change. Meet at the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center. Pre-registration is required by calling the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752.
