The Catskill Mountain Club, a grassroots nonprofit devoted to promoting non-motorized outdoor recreation, has released its early summer schedule of free guided hikes through the Catskill Mountains.
Founded 21 years ago, the club offers hiking, paddling, and biking excursions led by its members with a mission to make outdoor adventure accessible and to advocate for responsible land use.
The following hikes are scheduled in the coming weeks:
Monday, June 2 – 9 a.m.: A strenuous trek to Friday, Balsam Cap, Rocky, Lone, Table and Peekamoose mountains.
Thursday, June 5 – 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.: An all-day hike across the rugged terrain of the Western Devil’s Path.
Saturday, June 7 – 9 a.m.: A morning hike to Kaaterskill High Peak, known for sweeping views and historic significance.
Monday, June 9 – 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.: A shorter excursion, with details available online.
Further information and directions for each outing can be found at catskillmountainclub.org/events-all
The hikes are free and open to the public, though participants should be prepared for challenging terrain and varying weather conditions.
