Join us as we hike the Claudius Smith Den and Lake Skenonto Loop. Meet at 10:00 at the intersection of East Village Road and River Road in Tuxedo Park.

This hike is a moderate to hard hike with elevations reaching over 1000’ and also over 6 miles. The trail is very rocky. Your feet will feel it for sure! This is not a recommended hike for beginners.

The trail head does not allow for parking. You must park in either the small lot on East Village Road (cross street River Road) or in the train station lot. We will meet just beyond the railroad tracks for a 10:00 start.

Bring plenty of water and lots of snacks. We will stop half way for lunch. You can prepare for the hike by reading this: http://staging.nynjtc.org/hike/claudius-smith-denparker-cabin-mountain-loop
