Hike Parker Cabin Mt. from Rt. 17
April 13 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
SATURDAY, April 13th – Parker Cabin Mt. from Rt. 17 Registration required.
Trails include Orange White, RD, Yellow triangle out and back from Parker Cabin Mt. Some trails are on old woods road, others on a smoothish surface, and much of the typical Harriman rocky surfaces from erosion. One stream crossing will build focus. Two climbs will meet your cardio pulmonary goals. From Parker Cabin Mt. we can survey the Camp’s backyard.
Pace: slow up hill and moderate downhill. 1100 ‘ elevation gain in up and downs. A bit more than 5 miles, and qualifying. Dress for the weather forecasted the morning of the hike. Actual raining cancel. I go dreary to bright sunshine. Snow, I will still go. Bring a lunch, a qt or 2 of liquid, good hiking boots, lunch, snacks, and a map to follow where we go. April sunshine can be strong since there are no leaves so a hat or sunblock might be useful. If we have snow on the ground, micro spikes are strongly recommended. Walking without them on packed snow and ice is a very high level skill.
Transportation: Short Line Bus, Port authority to Tuxedo, daily bus 9:10 to 10:12. Drivers meet riders at the commuters parking lot Tuxedo. It is the duty of any bus rider to call if the bus is going to be late. We will shuttle to commuter parking at 17a. During the hike we can figure out the best of options for riders returning to NYC.
