Last Foliage Hike of the Season [9 miles, Train Access]

Last Foliage Hike of the Season [9 miles, Train Access]

Sun, Nov 8, 3:30 PM
From NYC Hiking And Nature Meetup
4.8

Come join me for the last (probably) foliage hike of the season! We'll do a loop past two lakes and over several great view points. Contact [Andre](http://www.meetup.com/New-York-City-Hiking/members/1650420) with any questions about this meetup. **Event guidelines:** * **This is a social event for hikers, not a guided hike**. We plan to stay together as a group, but everyone needs to be a self-sufficient hiker with adequate skills, equipment, and contingency plans to hike alone with a map or offline-GPS app (and the knowledge to use them) just in case. * **If you are not comfortable hiking** **self-sufficiently** **or are not experienced enough to judge the skill and physical requirements in the route description**, check out the [Appalachian Mountain Club’s](https://www.outdoors.org/) hikes or one of the many professional guides operating in the area. \*\*\* **Standard day-hiking gear:** * Hiking footwear (boots or trail shoes), non-cotton clothing, sunscreen, bug spray, sunhat, sunglasses. ([Permethrin insecticide](https://amzn.to/3XNcflS) treatment against ticks is great.) * Warm layers, including a winter hat and gloves in colder weather. Rain gear and an extra warm layer just in case. * Lunch, Snacks, and 2nd breakfast. 2 liters/ 2 quarts of water minimum, 3 liters for a hot day. Electrolytes for hot days, hot drinks for cold days. * **GPS app with offline maps** & battery pack: **Avenza Maps App** is free and there is a [free Harriman map in the in-app store](https://store.avenza.com/products/harriman-state-park-trail-map-new-york-state-parks-map?queryID=undefined&objectID=36438857941148). **CalTopo** ($20/yr) is an excellent general purpose GPS program. **Mapy** **App** has basic offline trail maps that are adequate. * **Map & Compass**: [NYNJTC Harriman-Bear Mountain Trails](https://amzn.to/422cHxd) or [National Geographic Harriman](https://amzn.to/3MOsk7d) *** **General FAQ:** * No dogs allowed, sorry * No guests beyond the RSVP guest limit and no one under 18 allowed * Hikes are generally rescheduled for thunderstorms, heat index >95f, or AQI >80 \*\*\* **Route Info:** * **The Stats:** About 10.5 miles, depending on conditions, with 1.5k' elevation gain at a moving pace of 2 mph. * **Track:** [Sebago-Skemonto-Claudius Loop](https://www.gaiagps.com/map/?loc=13.3/-74.1436/41.2006&pubLink=KhOL136qZzAYzSiYYCKkgmTW&routeId=ca062906-b224-44a4-8297-1af5195af48e) (If you use AllTrails, you'll have to find a matching route or routes yourself.) * **For Your Contingency Planning:** Shorter routes and bailout points are available. Cell service is generally available but can be spotty. In terms of a navigation & route finding, these are Blazed Trails. \*\*\* **Logistics:** * **Meeting Location:** Meet at 10:30am at the Tuxedo commuter parking lot off East Village Road ([Google Maps](https://goo.gl/maps/aoABudbFJkjAKF926)). (Use the address 2 Powerhouse Ln, Tuxedo Park, NY 10987.) * Andre's Cell: ‪(720) 263-7347‬; texts preferred. * **Public Transit:** Take the 9:14 am NJ Transit train from Penn Station to Tuxedo Station, arriving at 10:29 am. The station is just around the corner from the parking lot where we are meeting. Catching the 4:20 train back should work, but that might require cutting the hike short. Alternatively, return on the 6:44 pm train, or one of the hourly trains from Suffern via Uber. * **Car Pooling:** Please use the comment section to organize carpooling, especially if you are driving from the city. Passengers should chip in for gas and tolls (usually about $10-$15). ***
