Mohonk Preserve Peters Kill and Awosting Falls Hike
This was some adventure that took place yesterday In New Paltz NY. I joined a hike group "Free Spirit Outdoors" with about 15 others and we did the Mohonk Preserve Peters Kill and Awosting Falls Hike. Usually this hike is about 7.5 miles if you start from the parking Mohonk Preserve Parking lot yet for us, we started at the Peters Kill parking lot which about an 11 mile hike round trip. We came across some wonderful views and even did a little body sleigh riding down some of the hills (waiting to get those photos).
This is known to be a strenuous hike in general but with the added snow is truly was a test on patience, inner strength and team work.
Side note: if you ever go day hiking in the Winter and there is snow, be sure to bring an extra pair of socks, maybe even two more pairs, In particular Merino wool for even if your feet get wet, the wool will keep them warm.
There is much more to know but this is one huge life saving tip I can offer for now. It's better to be over prepared then under.
Please enjoy some photos to visually illustrate the trip.
Happy Trails!
