Join Laura Battelani, CMC Board Member and David Lucas, volunteers for the NYNJ Trail conference as they maintain their adopted trails for the fall season. We will drive to the Hill Road Trailhead and climb approximately 1500’ gradually, then begin trail inspection and clearing on Dry Brook Ridge. We’ll hike toward to Pakatakan Mountain, passing a 700-year-old bog and arrive at a beautiful lookout of the Pepacton Reservoir. We’ll relax and have a midday lunch at the overlook with beautiful western views of the Catskills.
