Hike For The Catskills 2023

Hike for the Catskills is an opportunity to explore the natural beauty of the Catskills while helping to protect critical Catskills habitats, keep our land and waters wild (even at the most popular hiking destinations), and advocate for our communities and the Catskill Park. 

Hike for the Catskills is not only an opportunity to explore the natural beauty of the Catskills, it’s an opportunity for you to explore your own natural beauty.  Everyone hikes for their own reasons.  For me it has been a way to way for me to relieve some of my stress so that I can be the best version on myself in my day-to-day life.    I have laughed, cried, screamed, fallen, gotten bruises and cuts and scrapes, I’ve sweated in ten degree weather in the dead of winter, been freezing cold wearing hat and gloves and a down jacket on a summer night in the middle of June, I’ve smelled Christmas in July and had my breath taken away by views that can only be explained by experiencing them yourself!  I have always left the mountains smiling from ear to ear.   

I have been hiking in the Catskills for a little over two years.  I fall in love with it all over again every time I hike as if it was my first time.   

Please help me to protect something that i love so much.    If you have the opportunity to visit the Catskills, take it!   I promise you won’t be disappointed!
