Latino Outdoors NYC & Camp Uwani gearing up for our next set of hikes for our Catskills Fire Tower Explorers Series, powered by Merrell!

We’ll be summiting Bramley Mountain (3.6 miles total with 900 feet elevation gain) and Mount Utsayantha (2.2 miles total with 700 feet elevation gain). Due to significant time constraints (there’s a 3 hr shuttle ride each way) and elevation gain, both of these hikes are marked as intermediate/challenging and we’ll be moving swiftly at a 30-minute per mile pace or faster.

We ask all interested participants to please be mindful of the elevation and pace before registering for this trip–both orgs continue to offer more community walks & hikes for everyone to enjoy con calma.

All ages are welcome to join us as long as they feel confident/comfortable with the distance and pace we’ll be moving. Registration is required and incomplete/duplicate RSVPs will be automatically returned.
