Hiking Guidelines During the COVID-19 Pandemic
We continue to follow Harriman State Park and New York State guidelines regarding COVID-19 restrictions: Masks are mandatory; avoid large gatherings; limited group size. For purposes of the hikes listed, the group size is limited to six hikers (not counting the leader and possible co-leader). Sign-up will be on a first-come basis, with a waiting list kept allowing for last minute cancellations.
Again, until we have approval: Masks are mandatory indoors
Saturday, June 5, 2021 – Big Hill Shelter Circular
This will be a moderately paced, 8-10 mile hike (depending on our starting point), to Big Hill shelter, passing by Breakneck Pond. There are nice views from the shelter and the hike is long but not strenuous. It will probably be possible to arrange a ride from Sloatsburg for those without a car. Please call leader to check. Bring lunch, rain gear, water, extra layers, and appropriate hiking shoes. Limited to six hikers plus the leader/co-leader. Masks required. Starting point and time TBD. Qualifying. Please register with the leader by 9PM Thursday June 3rd.

Saturday, June 19, 2021 – Mountain Laurel Hike
If the timing is right, this hike will take us thru tunnels of blooming Mountain Laurel. This is a moderately paced, 5 to 7 mile hike (depending on our starting point). Following a woods road (also used as a ski trail), we will turn off to follow a cairn-marked trail up the hill and then intersect with the Buck Trail. We will follow the Buck Trail until we come out at a fire road, then turn onto an unmarked trail and finally approach Breakneck Pond where we will have lunch. We can take a look at the AMC Harriman Camp and return by a different trail or two. It will probably be possible to arrange a ride from Sloatsburg for those without a car. Please call leader to check. Bring lunch, rain gear, water, extra clothing and appropriate hiking shoes. Limited to six hikers plus the leader/co-leader. Masks required. Starting point and time TBD. Qualifying. Please register with the leader by 9PM Thursday June 17th.
