Hike the Adirondacks, hike the Catskills...stop at a local eatery! Make sure you finish a challenge, summit some fire towers and pay attention to a peak with an animal name. Your dog can now also earn a patch! Enjoy the winter. Hike safely.
During winter hiking dates December 21 and March 21 have you...
_____ hiked a peak over 1,500 ft in the ADK or Catskill Park with an animal name?
____ Finished one hiking challenge in winter (any hiking challenge, didn't have to start in during Winter Hiking dates)
*you cannot 'double dip'...using the hikes you finish on your challenge requirement as 'additional hikes'
____ Summited 1 ADK Firetower
____ Summited 1 Catskill Firetower
____ Summited 1 additional firetower in the ADK or Catskills
____ Summited 4 Additional Peaks over 2,500 Feet in NY
___ visited an independent eatery in the ADK or Catskill Park (this is optional for the canine challenge finishers)
Then you may be a Fire and Ice Winter Challenge Finisher!
