Wittenberg (3/30)

Quite possibly the finest day hike in the Catskills, Mount Wittenberg is a challenging hike even for the Catskills, but the long trail through old-growth forest is truly a fantasyland. We’ll travel through three ecosystems on our 2450’ climb and descent, with a full third of the hike in the spruce fir summit forest, emerging onto the incredible 270 degree summit views is a once in a lifetime experience.

Great for: summit views unlike any other in the Catskills
Bonus: meet a tree that Dave considers a personal friend and has visited annually for over almost two decades

Snowshoes and/or microspikes included with all winter adventures when required for trail conditions.

    Yes! Your adventure includes a breakfast of fresh fruit and donuts and a selection of coffee and tea for the drive to the trailhead. On winter hikes, we serve a hot gourmet lunch and snacks, plus hot tea, coffee, and hot cocoa in the woods. We offer vegetarian and vegan options, and we’re happy to accommodate any dietary and allergy needs.

    Wear comfortable, breathable clothes in layers. Start with a base layer of non-cotton material and follow with 2-3 layers of varying weight. Snow pants or ski pants are good, but not essential. Parka, shells, or other outer layers for your top should be wind resistant (most are). You can read more about clothing for winter day hikes here
