Mid-Hudson TRAILS www.midhudsonadk.org News & Activities of the Mid-Hudson Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club Fall 2015 This Fall, Explore the Magnificent Hudson River Valley Region with People Who Call It Home Members of the Mid Hudson Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club invite all ADKers, their families and friends, to join a weekend of guided hikes, paddles, bike rides, and visits to historic and cultural sites in the colorful Hudson Valley region, October 2-4, 2015. Activities are planned for varied skill levels and interests. Our base will be the Hudson Valley Resort and Spa in Kerhonkson. This historic hotel is in the heart of the Shawangunk mountain ridge and offers views of the Catskills. Campgrounds, B&Bs, and other hotels are near- by. Visit wineries, distilleries, breweries, galleries, boutiques. Or just kick back and enjoy the amenities, views from the resort and the company of ADK members. A brochure detailing activities and the registration process is found at http://www.adk.org/fall outing. If you’d like to be part of the enterprise, help is needed on Friday afternoon and Saturday afternoon/evening to assist with welcoming guests and directing them to activities. You may participate in any activity by paying the registration fee. You may also opt to stay at the hotel and make it weekend “away” right here in the beautiful Hudson Valley.

There are two aspects of reducing carbon footprint of ADK’s facilities: reducing energy usage and generating energy to meet as much of it’s energy requirements as possible. To help ADK facilities become more sustainable and energy efficient, the Foothills Chapter has made its com- mitment and invites all others to join them for 100% chapter participation. The Mid Hudson Chapter board has accepted the challenge and voted to donate $500 towards the Green Initia- tive in 2015 and has recommended that the Mid-Hudson Chapter give $500 for the next two years towards this initiative. To support this initiative and to see how your money will be used, visit Sustainability web page and make your contribution. http://www.adk.org/page.php?pname=Sustainability Mid-Hudson Trails Page 2 September-November 2015 Outings Guidelines www.midhudsonadk.org GENERAL OUTINGS GUIDELINES Notify leader of your intent to join an outing at least 2 days Dogs may be allowed on some outings, check with trip leader. prior to the outing.

    Episodes from a Hudson River Town Peak of the Catskills, Ulster County’S 4,200-Foot Slide Mountain, May Have Poked up out of the Frozen Terrain

    1 Prehistoric Times Our Landscape and First People The countryside along the Hudson River and throughout Greene County always has been a lure for settlers and speculators. Newcomers and longtime residents find the waterway, its tributaries, the Catskills, and our hills and valleys a primary reason for living and enjoying life here. New Baltimore and its surroundings were formed and massaged by the dynamic forces of nature, the result of ongoing geologic events over millions of years.1 The most prominent geographic features in the region came into being during what geologists called the Paleozoic era, nearly 550 million years ago. It was a time when continents collided and parted, causing upheavals that pushed vast land masses into hills and mountains and complementing lowlands. The Kalkberg, the spiny ridge running through New Baltimore, is named for one of the rock layers formed in ancient times. Immense seas covered much of New York and served as collect- ing pools for sediments that consolidated into today’s rock formations. The only animals around were simple forms of jellyfish, sponges, and arthropods with their characteristic jointed legs and exoskeletons, like grasshoppers and beetles. The next integral formation event happened 1.6 million years ago during the Pleistocene epoch when the Laurentide ice mass developed in Canada. This continental glacier grew unyieldingly, expanding south- ward and retreating several times, radically altering the landscape time and again as it traveled. Greene County was buried.
