trips - the coolest Catskills trip so far this year!!!!!Trip Info
DescriptionAnd here is the plan as I see it. Feel free to chime in if I got her wrong. Friday morning: Eat breakfast/lunch in Hunter, NY and then off to the trailhead. For those hiking in Friday (affternoon/evening), we're starting at the end of Spruceton Road and hike south on the Diamond Notch Trail. Looks like it is less than two miles up to the Diamond Notch Leanto, perfect for nighthike. Saturday: those hiking in Saturday morning, meet at the DN leanto and then we hike on to the Devils Acre Leanto (in the col btwn Hunter and SW Hunter) and set up basecamp. Bushwack up to SW Hunter. If there is time, maybe we can hit up Hunter too to save time on Sunday. Otherwise, we'll have the afternoon to have a good time in camp at the leanto. Sunday: get an early start, strike camp, bag Hunter (if we didn't get it on Saturday) and Colonel's Chair and then continue hike out via Spruceton Trail with option of bushwacking up to summit of Rusk (which I would really like to do). Usual post hike celebratory meal and then goodbyes etc. etc. - Bring white gas stoves and pots. We may gave to melt snow. Also, bring firestarters.
 = Yes,  = Maybe
