Hike to Echo Rock and Patterson’s Pellet at Minnewaska
Monday, February 17, 2025 10:00 AM - 01:30 PM
Join Laura Conner, Environmental Educator, for a winter walk along four carriage roads to reach the picturesque Echo Rock and Patterson's Pellet scenic views. The surface of carriage roads is flat, firm and smooth, making this outing a good fit for people who are less comfortable with rocky 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, the stone tower at High Point State Park in New Jersey is visible. This approximately six-mile round trip walk is a great way to warm up, get outside and fight cabin fever. If the carriage roads at Lake Minnewaska are groomed for cross-country skiing, the location for this hike will change. Meet at the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center. Pre-registration is required by calling the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752.
