Fir, Big Indian, Eagle
Total slog. 16.5 miles through a green tunnel, three peaks, saw a bear. Most boring hike so far.
permalink nebrivTrail notes recorded post hike, added here in their fairly raw state.
First bear of the season. About 25-30 yards away. He took off as soon as we saw each other.
That was the highlight. The rest of this hike was a total slog. 16.5 miles of green tunnel, cloudy, moderate temperatures. First big big hike. Definitely my current record for most boring Catskill hike. The river section was nice but that’s about all I can say for it. Rocky and dry, which I guess beats muddy. Under fueled and dehydrated on the way back, stopped at the river to filter water and refresh.
Three peaks (Fir, Big Indian, Eagle) and not much to look at from any of them. Rating it a 2 out of 5. Would not do again.
