Catskill Fire Tower Run

On Saturday, July 23, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Becker Hollow Parking Lot, 4120 NY-214, Elka Park, NY (Google map ››) when we run the Catskills Fire Tower Challenge. We’re going to start at the Hunter Mountain trailhead and hit Tremper, and Overlook. Anyone who wants to hit all five can continue to Red Hill and Balsam, but considering the temperature, I’m going to suggest we leave those until September. I’ve left Upper Esopus off the list which is at the Catskills Visitor Center, not actually on a mountain. The course I’ve laid out gets us to the three towers that are closest together so, after we finish with Overlook, we can visit the Phoenicia Diner. Make sure you bring plenty of water on this run.

If you want to share a ride, meet at the Woods Bridge MTA Commuter Parking Lot in Katonah before 5:00. We’ll be leaving promptly at 5:00.
