SUMMARY:
Sundance welcomes Gay Oitdoors friends as we return to Bear Mountain for a great day hike with a special Sundance connection. Full details to follow as we get closer to the date. But we plan to hike up the Major Welch Trail to the Perkins Tower and return down on the Appalachian Trail to complete the loop. It's a steep incline up and lots of stone steps heading down. In other words, it's a hard 4 /4.5 mile, 3-4 hour hike. This trail was maintained by Sundance members for many years. Our members annually cleared the path, painted blazes, removed litter, and moved rocks MEETING POINTS: Manhattan or Jackson Heights, NY. Specific locations TBD. Departing at 8:30 AM sharp. CHECKLIST: Water, snacks, lunch, headlamp, walking sticks, contribution towards gas, tolls and parking and entrance fees. NOTE: Please reply with your contact info if you're interested and need a ride. Or, let us know if you plan on meeting us there. Hike up the mountain starts at 9:45 AM sharp. LEADERS: Timmy Burke & Sean Locus
