Join one of our Catskill Stewards for our final steward-led fire tower hike of the season— a challenging 6 mile, out-and-back hike to the top of Mount Tremper.

On Thursday, October 16, we’ll be hiking to the Mount Tremper Fire Tower—one of the six towers featured in the 2025 Catskill Fire Tower Challenge, which is organized by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.

This is a challenging 6-mile round-trip hike with a steep, rocky ascent of nearly 2,000 feet from the Jessop Road trailhead. Along the way, enjoy the beauty of the forest, and at the summit, take in stunning 360-degree views from the top cab of the fire tower. Hike in with our Steward and return at your own pace.

Meet at the Jessop Road trailhead parking at 10:00 am.

Please wear appropriate footwear and bring water.

This event is FREE with a suggested donation of $10.00. Registration is required.
