Mount Beacon is one of the best hiking trails in upstate New York. This hike is easier than the one from the Fall. We will see a view of two big views, including the a fire tower. Afterwards will enter town to get lunch!
Clothing: Sneakers or hiking shoes should be sufficient. Wear comfortable, exercise clothing. We recommend checking the weather beforehand and bringing another layer (and maybe an extra t-shirt to change into) for afterward as it will likely be comfortable but chilly.
Food: Make sure to bring about 2 liters of water. You never know how thirsty you will get. Make sure to have breakfast, pack some snacks (fruits, cookies, etc.) and bring a light lunch (sandwich). We'll stop mid-way and eat at a scenic location.
Lunch: We will get lunch in town, there are many good options!!
