2003

We will hike the beginning portion of the Escarpment Trail that skirts

the far eastern edge of the Catskills overlooking the Hudson Valley.

Highlights include the view over the Hudson, all along Kaaterskill Clove,

and various places along the trail where many famous paintings by artists

of the Hudson River School of American painting were done from. We will

pass the site of the old Catskill Mountain House hotel that burned down

in the 70's. We will also pass a nice waterfall along the Mary's Glen

Trail as we return to the cars. There is an option for a short hike afterwards

to Kaaterskill Falls, the highest in New York.

The bridge is still out so we are counting on

low water or it will be exciting.
