Tuesday Trek: High Peter’s Kill and Awosting Falls Loop Hike at Minnewaska

Tuesday, February 11, 2025 09:30 AM - 02:30 PM

Come explore the picturesque High Peter's Kill Footpath with Laura Conner, Environmental Educator, on this approximately four-and-a-half-mile hike. We'll start by walking downhill on the High Peter's Kill Footpath, which features a variety of terrain along a cliff edge with numerous, scenic viewpoints. We'll follow this until we reach the Yellow Connector Footpath, which hugs the frozen edges of the Peter's Kill stream. We'll hike up the east spur of the Red Loop Footpath and take a short break at the Peter's Kill restrooms. For our return trip, we'll walk along the easy-going Awosting Falls Carriage Road, past the beautiful and iconic Awosting Falls. This hike does include rocky, narrow and steep sections of trail that may be icy. Some hikers may find these conditions challenging. Participants should bring enough water and food for the outing and wear proper hiking shoes equipped with ice traction devices. Meet in the Lower Parking Area. Pre-registration is required by calling the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752.
