Join our Catskill Steward, Bella, for a hike to the Overlook Mountain Fire Tower while getting one step closer to completing the 2024 Fire Tower Challenge.

We will leave from the trailhead on Meads Mountain Road (right across from KTD) at 10:30 am. This is a moderate hike that is about 5 miles out and back to the fire tower. The trailhead address is 335 Meads Mountain Rd, Woodstock, NY 12498. The hike will take approximately 2 hours to the top with a few breaks in between to hydrate and catch up on some of the history of Overlook Mountain, and the fire towers in the Catskills. The guided portion of the hike will conclude at the top of the mountain where hikers are invited to climb the fire tower and make their way back down at their own leisure. 

SUGGESTED DONATION: $10/PERSON AT REGISTRATION
