Around Cape Horn – Saturday – November 5, 2022

Elevation gains about 500 feet, gentle to moderate uphills, 5-6 miles.

Join in an easy hike to the Pine Swamp Mountain area (site of the Pine Swamp Mine) and Times Square.

Starting at the parking area at Lake Kanawauke (former Route 106), we take a short road walk and then enter the forest, following a woods road as it climbs to meet the Dunning Trail.

We will hike over to Pine Swamp (and can explore the area to find the mine entrance), take the A-SB to Times Square (so called because it is where the Arden-Surebridge (A-SB) trail, the Long Path (LP), and the Ramapo-Dunderberg trail(R-D) all come together), then ‘round Cape Horn on the Long Path and back to the parking area.  We will look for a hidden cave behind Cape Horn.

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. If there is snow/ice, traction devices are recommended. Meet at the Parking area at 10AM. Qualifying. Please register by 9PM Thursday, November 3, 2022.

Leader: Ray Kozma (Raymondkozma@gmail.com) or 917-406-3782.
