What we’re about
This is a group of Dog lovers that like to socialize and get out for walks, hikes, or attend events with our 4 legged companions. We are all easy-going, dog-loving people, and we understand that some dogs need a little more time to warm up to the pack. Never hesitate to ask questions about our pack, We have some very knowledgeable dog lovers in this group! Hikes are from somewhat challenging and strenuous to very easy walks in the park. With skill levels ranging from beginner to expert and anywhere in between, all are welcome! We try to find dog-friendly restaurants locally to the hike where we can enjoy each other's company just a little longer. We also attend events organized by others where bringing our dogs are encouraged and accepted! We love exploring local, outdoor, dog-friendly locations and meet like-minded individuals, and we hope you would like to join us. Let's check out what the greater Hudson Valley area has to offer for pet-friendly recreation.

Sugarloaf Hill Trail is considered a moderate, in and out hike, that's part of the Hudson Highlands state park. We'll have a 623' elevation gain in 1.5ish miles, so about the same challenge as Storm King, but shorter! It's worth the climb, for the views are stunning!

- JUNE Neversink Gorge Mountain Laurel HikeNeversink Gorge Trails, Rock Hill, NY
The trail is lined with mountain laurel.
Join us for this truly one-of-a-kind hike through the Neversink Gorge Unique area in Sullivan County. This is a different kind of hike, with some ups and downs, gorges, waterfalls, and river views!
We'll explore some of the side trails to the river and the loop to Mullets Falls. The loop and side trails should be just over 5 miles total. It's considered a moderate hike, with a total elevation gain of 669 feet: no scrambles, but some hills.
Trailhead parking is minimal. And there is no cell phone service once we approach the trailhead. I'm usually at the trailhead 15-20min before the schedule.
DIRECTIONS:
To the Katrina Falls Rd. Parking Area: Located at the end of the Katrina Falls Rd (a dead-end road) in the hamlet of Rock Hill (located within the Town of Thompson). From NYS Rt 17 East, get off exit 109 and make a right onto Rock Hill Drive, then make your first right onto Katrina Falls Road (Dutch's Tavern is on the right-hand side). Follow Katrina Falls Rd all the way until the end. The parking area will be on your left.
What to bring: Pay attention to the forecast. You might need a rain poncho! Always bring plenty of water and a snack for both you and your pooch! We will take a break at Mullet falls.
Tis the season for black flies (gnats) again... and Ticks! Be prepared!
