JOIN US FOR A CATSWOMEN HIKE OF BROUGHTON LEDGES TRAIL ON SATURDAY, JUNE 29TH, AT 8:30 AM.
CATSWomen is a volunteer-led group that offers a welcoming environment for women of all ages and abilities to gain confidence in the outdoors through Champlain Area Trails. Enjoy this 6.2-mile loop trail near Moriah, New York. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it will take around 3 hours to complete. It is a perfect trail for getting deep in the woods in some wild backcountry. The first two miles involve a fair amount of steep climbing, including an interesting view of Ensign Pond and some low mountains in the Hammond Pond Wild Forest. The second stage of the hike is a big four-mile loop that walks below the massive Broughton Ledges. Much of this part of the hike is on old tote roads through beautiful mature forests.

TIME: Meet at the trailhead at 8:15 am. This hike should take about 3 hours

WHAT TO BRING: Dress in good wicking layers for summer hiking. Be prepared for bugs and mud. Remember to bring snacks and water!

DIRECTIONS: The trailhead is off Ensign Pond Road in Moriah.
