Post hike dinner: Karma Cafe, New Paltz (about an hour away)
Directions: Big Indian
Notes:
We saw a bear cub cross the road on our drive to the trailhead. It was fast, so we didn't get a photo.
We also saw a flock of around 30 turkeys on our hike.
This hike is long, but moderate. There are actually some sections which are flat!
Most of this hike is on a trail, with a short bushwhack (herd path) at the end.
The herd path is past the 3500 footer sign.
The herd path was easy to find. Our dog found it for us :)
Even though it is supposed to be a well worn path, it was a little hard to see with all of the leaves.
Never fear - our dog led us all the way up the mountain and stopped at the canister!
