i just loooooooooooooove to plan hikes.
so, i joined the Adirondack High Peaks Forum to try to figure out where to walk in the Catskills for three days or so around March 20th. They basically told me I was going to die... and die a death I deserved for daring to enter their hallowed ground -- which is more difficult and demanding terrain than, well, anywhere. I am sort of kidding, and i imagine i will get some useful information there. that being said...
where should i hike in the catskills that early in the season? i am imagining packed snow, ice, snow melt, longer days and temps above 15 degrees. Depending on conditions i would imagine i could cover anywhere from 8 to 20 miles a day.
oh, and the "take no hiker along" thing is just an in joke, and not very funny. and i don't really mean it.
