Subversive Malting & Brewing (01/17/21)
After our 6.6 mile hike to Newman’s Ledge, Bear’s Den, Sunset Rock, Prospect Rock, and Artist Rock we were ready for a nice cold beer. Always up for something new we headed to Subversive (drinksubversive.com) (love the name!) in Catskill, NY. Upon walking up we were greeted by privacy...
Snowshoes
We began our hiking adventures just as winter rolled in. We soon realized that to enjoy this activity year round we were going to need snowshoes or else become know as a “holer.” Like most things that have come with COVID outdoor equipment was at a premium. I called...

West Kill Brewing
As with most things you work for there has to be a reward, so after hiking we like to find good food, good beer or both (preferably dog friendly). After inadvertently completing half of Hunter Mountain and all of Diamond Notch Falls we were ready for good brew. Now...
Diamond Notch Falls (Kind of..)
Our second venture for the winter was supposed to be to Diamond Notch Falls. We headed out ready for a seemingly easy 3 mile out and back hike to an amazing waterfall. As we pulled into the Spruceton parking lot there were a few DEC signs out by the...
Ashokan Quarry
Our first winter venture was to the Ashokan Quarry. The trail was made in cooperation with the Catskill Mountain Club and the NYCDEP. The trail is an easy 2 mile fairly level loop that offers a lot of really cool views. At about 0.3 miles in you will encounter...
Up And Running…..
Well it took me a bit longer than I thought it would to get the site up and running. As much as I’d like to attribute the delayed start to my being busy or any other numerous reasons the sad truth is that as the site title indicates I...
Coming Soon…
Thank you for stopping by. I am still getting everything up and running but I am looking forward to sharing my hiking adventures with my dog Red. There will be pictures and observations on our hikes, gear review and cool places we visit apres hiking. Please check back soon...
