Join Park Educators for a spooky and educational walk and talk through the Ice Caves at Sam's Point, in costume! Learn about the unique geology of the Shawangunk Mountains and how the Ice Caves formed. This approximately three-mile hike includes a steep hill on a carriage road and also sections of footpath that feature narrow boardwalks through enclosed spaces and two hand to foot ladders to climb up. All participants are invited to wear Halloween costumes that they can safely hike in. There will be a scavenger hunt with fun prizes! Meet at the Sam's Point Visitor Center. Pre-registration is required by calling Sam's Point at 845-647-7989.
