I’m preparing for craft fairs, cooking, dressing the dogs in blaze orange finery, and anticipating the dreaded holiday family get-togethers. We’ve all been there, sitting around the table with Aunt Gertie and Uncle Jasper, and someone asks you about Your Hiking Thing. After all the requisite jokes about the Bataan Death March and how the only hiking Cousin Fred is doing this year is to the fridge and back to the couch… someone asks you the why question. Why do you do it? Why a list? Why in the winter? And especially why if there is no view at the top? I have said it before: the Catskill Forest Preserve is my temple and my gym. The oft repeated John Burroughs quote rings true for me: I too go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.

  • Catskill Park Advisory Committee Meeting Notes October 28, 2020 At
    Catskill Park Advisory Committee Meeting Notes October 28, 2020 at 10:00am Meeting held via Zoom Jeff Senterman welcomed all present and thanked everyone for taking part virtually. He went over a few housekeeping and technical details for the zoom meeting. Jeff also thanked so many stakeholders for submitting reports ahead of time. He said that this helps keep the meeting moving forward and ensures that information that groups want to get out, gets out to all CPAC members. Kathy Nolan mentioned a new group – the Catskill Strategic Planning Advisory Group (CAG) and noted that the group should be added to the agenda. Jeff noted that the new Catskill Rec plan is now available for download on the Catskill Watershed Corporation’s website (https://cwconline.org/catskill-recreation-plan/). Public comments that were submitted have been included and addressed in the final. Updates: FPAC Update: Peter Frank apologized for the technical difficulties at FPAC. All felt it was challenging and using Webex was “a challenge at best.” Discussing one possibility as maybe having an FPAC member host a zoom meeting – as the state must use Webex, but a guest could host using zoom. Jeff S. offered assistance. NYSDEC Update: Peter Frank provided updates from Central Office. Discussed at CPAC when first announced via the Governor’s 2020 state of the state address, the Catskills region is now convening a group to look at Catskill issues with regard to increased visitation and heavy use (the CAG). Many people were considered for representation on this group, it was then narrowed down to a manageable size.

The Interstate Hiking Club (IHC) is a medium-sized hiking club, organized in 1931, affiliated with the NY/NJ Trail Conference. IHC members are of various ages and diverse backgrounds. Guest are welcome! An adult must accompany anyone under 18. Where do we go? Most of our activities are centered in the NY/NJ area, some hikes are further away. The club occasionally sponsors trips in the Catskills and Pennsylvania. Our hikes are not usually accessible by public transportation. What do we do? Hikes generally are scheduled for every Sunday, and some Saturdays, as day long outings. They are graded by difficulty of terrain, distance and pace. Strenuous: More climbing, usually rugged walking, generally 9 miles or more. Moderate: Some climbing and rugged walking, but less than 9 miles. Easy: Generally easy, fairly level trails, slower pace, 6 to 8 miles. The club also maintains trails in association with the NY/NJ Trail Conference. Two Sundays a year are devoted to this service work. In addition we have done in the past, orienteering, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, swimming, canoeing, mountain biking, backpacking, and camp-out in the Adirondacks and Maine. What to bring: Footwear is very important. Hiking boots with non-slip soles are essential for all hikes .
