Description
Join us for an unforgettable hike to Kaaterskill Falls, one of the tallest waterfalls in New York! This easy to moderate trail leads to a stunning two-tier cascade dropping 260 feet, with scenic viewpoints and a dramatic natural setting along the way. We’ll climb stone steps, visit a viewing platform, and we’ll have time to relax and swim in the famous Blue Hole, a beautiful natural swimming pool formed by the waterfall. Its refreshing waters provide the perfect way to cool off and unwind after a rewarding day on the trail. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced hiker, this adventure offers breathtaking views and a perfect way to connect with nature. Let’s explore together!
Pack your favorite sandwich and drink, we will have a snack break on the trail.
We are getting away from the city to forget about timing, enjoy nature and socialize. If you’re looking to make new outdoorsy friends, you’ve found the perfect place. But if you’re seeking a fast-paced group, this might not be the right fit.
