Join the Catskills Visitor Center’s David Hans for a hike up Overlook Mountain during the first of August’s TWO FULL MOONS. Overlook Mountain is a 5 mile in-and-out hike of moderate difficulty, offering great views of the Hudson Valley from the eastern-facing viewpoint just a short walk from the Observers Cabin by the Fire Tower.

Even though the moon will add light, any cloud coverage can block out that light, so headlamps are recommended. Flashlights are discouraged especially for those using trekking poles. The meetup will be at 5pm at the Overlook Mountain Trailhead to get early views of the moon around 7:30pm.

To register for the hike, please call the Catskills Visitor Center at (845) 688-3369 or email info@catskillcenter.org. Provide your name, phone number, and email so we can reach you about any changes or cancellations. Advance registration is required and the hike is limited to 12 people.
