CatsWomen at Mt. VanHoevenberg

CatsWomen is a volunteer-led group that offers a welcoming environment for women of all ages and abilities to gain confidence in the outdoors through Champlain Area Trails.

Check out this 4.2-mile out-and-back trail near Lake Placid, New York. Hikers begin with a gentle climb to one of the finest views of the High Peaks after signing in. Switchbacks are used throughout the trail so that the climb is never very steep as it meanders through the woods. It gets a little steeper after this section, but the 180-degree panoramic views from the summit await ahead! This is a moderately challenging hike.

Time: Meet at the trailhead at 1:45 pm. This hike should take about 2.5 hours.

What To Bring: Dress in breathable clothing that wicks sweat. Remember to bring snacks and water.

Register: There is limited spacing! Email Torey@champlainareatrails.com to register for the hike.

Directions: The trailhead is off of Bob Run Road by the Olympic Sports Complex.

Cost: Free
