Hike Bramley Mountain

Join us for a First Day of Spring hike to the summit of Bramley Mountain, future site of the Catskills' newest fire tower. This moderately difficult hike passes through a quarry before passing a number of impressive rock outcroppings. The summit offers panoramic views to the high peaks and the mountains that form the Pepacton Range on the south side of the reservoir. We will hike at a moderate pace and take time to have lunch and enjoy the views when we reach the summit.

This four-mile hike is expected to take four hours. Participants should bring lunch/ food, water/ beverage. Dress in layers of moisture wicking fabrics and wear good hiking shoes. Bring ice traction devices and snowshoes, depending on conditions. Hiking poles are recommended. Maps are available at the trailhead.
