Trail: Hunter Mountain via Becker Hollow Trail

Description:

This is one of my favorite hikes! Hunter Mountain via Becker Hollow Trail is a 5 mile out-and-back trail with a partial loop at the summit. The overall hike is short, but very steep with an elevation gain of 2,400 feet. Once we reach the top, we will be at an elevation of 4,000 ft and find ourselves in a beautiful coniferous forest. You will have access to the Hunter Mountain Fire Tower. Climb this and you will get one of the best views in the Catskills.

About Hiking Socials

Meet like-minded hikers who enjoy the outdoors as much as you do through one of our hiking social events. Our hiking socials attract hikers from all over the Hudson Valley. Whether you are looking to hike in the comfort of some company, make new friends, or network with other professionals, this is the hike for you.

We accept all levels of experience. Please use your judgment in participating based on the trail difficulty. The difficulty ratings are subjective so contact us if you would like further details on the trail conditions. 

During the Hike

An experienced guide will lead the group through the pre-selected trail at a steady pace. We give our hikers enough time to enjoy the views, take pictures, eat snacks, and carry conversations. The group is expected to stay together throughout the entire hike. If you think you require a much slower or faster pace, then I recommenced you book a private hike with us. We accept no more than 20 hikers per event so please reserve your spot as soon as possible!

After the Hike

After our hike, we continue the fun at a local bar or restaurant with some food and drinks. We are supporters of local businesses in the Hudson Valley and would like to share some of these hidden gems with you. 

This is completely optional for all hiking participants. However, some say that this is the best part of the experience, so try not to miss out!
