Slide Mountain (Burroughs Range) Loop

On Saturday, July 11, meet for a special run in the Catskills—the Slide Mountain/Burroughs Range Loop. This 14.5 mile loop offers 5,000 feet of elevation gain and crosses Slide Mountain (the highest peak in the Catskill range), Cornell, and Whittenberg. Meet at the Woods Bridge commuter lot in Katonah at 5:30 a.m. if you’d like to caravan for the 2-hour drive to the start or you can meet at the Slide Mountain West Trail Head, 2027 Oliverea Rd, Phoenicia, NY 12464 (see Google Maps ››). We will make a counterclockwise loop starting shortly after 7:30 a.m. and finishing in the afternoon. You can see the course map here, complete with .gpx and .kml files. Bring plenty of water, a filter if you have one, and a change of clothes so we can stop at the Phoenician Diner afterwards and eat all the foods. This is a challenging but fun adventure.
