October 3 @ 9:00 am - 2:00 pm
Departing from Camp Nawakwa at 9 a.m., we will take the unmarked camp trail toward the Yellow Triangle trail. At the intersection with the Triangle trail we will make a left toward Dutch Doctor. At Dutch Doctor we’ll make a right turn onto the Tuxedo-Mount Ivy trail. After 1.2 miles we’ll reach Claudius Smith’s Den, which offers great views and is a good stop to take a short break. From Claudius Smith’s Den, we’ll continue northbound on the White Cross trail. After 2.15 miles we’ll reach the junction with the Ramapo-Dunderberg trail. We will make a right turn and continue for 0.25 miles to reach the summit of Parker Cabin Mountain. This is a good spot to have lunch and enjoy views of Lake Sebago. Following our lunch break we will descend Parker Cabin Mountain using the Triangle trail, pass Lake Skenonto, and after 1.95 miles make a left turn at the intersection with the unmarked trail that takes us back to camp.
