About this outing
Title

Before booking, make sure you understand the route.

This hike is more technical than a typical hike: you’ll need to use your legs, hands, and full attention on rocky sections, crevices, and narrow passages.

Mohonk isn't a flat hike. The route includes sections along carriage trails and scrambling sections where the group proceeds with clear instructions before each technical stretch.

The hike takes you through areas like Labyrinth, Lemon Squeeze, and Sky Top Tower. You don't need to climb, but you do need to be comfortable using your hands on rock, hiking for several hours, and keeping up with the group.

If you have a fear of tight spaces or uneven terrain, you should think carefully about this outing. The goal is for you to arrive prepared, not caught off guard.
