We start at the Soccer Field Parking Lot, across the street from the DEC Offices Region 3. We will walk the Headwaters Trail up to the top of Bald Mountain, where we will have a 270 degree view of the Catskills. Part of the Trail is on some old ski trails, so it is very steep with a very short bushwhack. After lunch we will walk down the other side of the mountain and around the bottom of the mountain.
