Catskills Trail Conditions

Last Updated: Tue, May 5

Daylight Hours
Sunrise Apx: 5:45 am.
Sunset Apx: 8:00 pm.
Lots of daylight now but, still, on every hike, make sure to pack a headlamp — one of The Ten Essentials.

Weather
Mixed again this week — clouds and rain — with a dusting of snow on Saturday?

Ice
A few patches of ice remain on upper elevations. Pack microspikes until June.

Mud
It’s mud season. Make sure to walk right through any mud puddles you come across on the trail. Walking around puddles widens the trail. Please leave no trace.

Product of the Week

While non-toxic to humans permethrin begins destroying an insect’s nervous systems on contact; basically, as soon as a tick crawls on your permethrin-treated clothing, it starts to die. Peace of mind in a bottle.

I‘ve tested a bunch of hiking apps and stopped using a lot of them. These are the best hiking apps I’ve come across to date. I use them over and over because they make hiking safer and more enjoyable.
