Hike the Catskills with us!

"Quite simply and astonishingly, this is dismantling the National Park Service as we know it, ranger by ranger and brick by brick." - Theresa Pierno, NPCA's President and CEO

Have you hiked the Beehive Trail in Acadia National Park?

Go Vermont!

Tuesday was Parks and Public Lands Day in the NYS Legislature and I was proud to be there advocating on behalf of the Catskill Park and our communities with my friends from the Adirondacks!

Monday was Adirondack and Catskill Day in the NYS Legislature and I was proud to be there advocating on behalf of the Catskill Park and our communities with my friends from the Adirondacks!

Patrick and I found a gem of a local ski area at Mt Abram. Great trails, no crowds to speak of, great snow, totally local and not a corporate shit show, and $39 lift tickets! We skied all day and had a blast. Totally going back.

The disappointment is palpable 🥤

Enjoyed the hike out to Huckleberry Point this afternoon. Always a beautiful Catskills spot.

Devil’s Hopyard is part of NH’s Terrifying 25 Hikes and really just a really enjoyable exploration and scramble in the North Country.

Just passed the NYS Outdoor Guide licensing exams for hiking and camping! Once I get the applications and certs squared away I won’t just be the guy who handles the books at Hike on Guides! 🍾🍾

Hikes of 2024 #2 - Peekamoose Mountain in the Catskills | The Peekamoose-Table Trail climbs 4 miles to Peekamoose's summit, with steep, rocky sections. A view appears 3 miles in. After enjoying the summit, we returned the same way for an 8-mile round trip.

This is a great idea. Do you know anyone in Congress you can talk to?

Hikes of 2024, #1 - Ashokan High Point Attempt. As Moe recovered from a broken knee, the first big hike we did was AHP in the Catskills. Didn’t make the summit but advanced Moe’s recovery youtu.be/Op-9nIUV-vw

Never thought there’d be a Monday morning where visiting the dentist felt better than reading the news.

I really can’t wrap my head around congressional Democrats’ response to the past 12 days of crises. It reeks of pathetic capitulation. Trump is asserting dictatorial powers of absolute control over the entire government and the reaction is “we don’t swing at every pitch”? An appalling abdication.

The little piece of the world I’ll focus on at this moment

Made it to day 365 of January

Celebrating hump day

Not sure how he found it, but Moe went back up Panther today and found his phone laying there on top of the snow - even after the new snow last night. Now let’s see if we can dry it out, warm it up, and get it going again.

She was checking to see if I had a pork chop for her

This week…and it’s only Tuesday. The news The tire blow out Moe’s phone is RIP on top of Panther Mtn I’m kinda afraid for the rest of it.

I feel like I leveled up on car experiences today. After years of worrying what would happen if a tire blew out on highway, it did. Thankfully maneuvered car off highway and now waiting for AAA.

Mini trip to Massachusetts to visit Sharon 🙌

New Mexican place in Catskill is really good!

Trying to use my use it or lose it PTO before end of January when it disappears and turns into one of those days. Suffice to say I’ll be losing it lol.

It’s that kind of morning when you have to wear long johns to go to the office 🥶

Knowing our community has risen to the challenge before and we will do so again. Our promise is to do at least a little good in our corner of the world every day. It has to start somewhere.

I suppose being the prep day for a colonoscopy at least keeps my mind off what’s happening the rest of the day.

If you were on our mailing list, you’d have already gotten all the news, updates, and new videos!

Will the snowstorm materialize 🤔

Our take: Goodr sunglasses are an affordable, durable, and stylish option for hikers who want reliable eye protection without a high price tag. What are your favorite sunglasses for hiking?

Having internet at the place in NH means I can obsessively check snow depth now (which is kind of pitiful at the moment for January in northern NH).

There are other states with more superlatives, but the fifty miles of the Appalachian Trail from the NY/NJ line to the Hudson River really makes a good 3-4 day backpacking trip with so much to see and experience - Hiking the Appalachian Trail in New York
