Join Marv Freedman and friends for this 11-miler with a section along the Catskill Escarpment. The route begins at Mary’s Glen parking area inside the North-South Lake Campground, visits North Point, traverses the spectacular escarpment, and drops down into Kaaterskill Clove. Rated as difficult, the outing is expected to take upwards of nine hours. The day's pace will be moderate (about 1-1/2 mph moving pace) with short breaks. We won’t stop for a long lunch break. Hikers need to bring plenty of water/ sports drink, lunch/ snacks, sturdy water-resistant boots, extra clothing; rain gear, sunscreen, and hiking poles are recommended.
