Castle Point Trail

September 14, 2024

Trip leaders Jack Gordon and Marisa Alicandro led the Outing Club's first hike as a chartered club this Fall semester! Students explored the Castle Point trail in Minnewaska State Park, a nearly 8-mile hike and 30-mile drive from Marist.

"The trail was great, especially for beginners. I would definitely go again if the opportunity arises!" -Ashley Demino '26

The intermediate Castle Point trail loop took Outing Club members past beautiful views of Minnewaska Lake and up to the "Gertrude's Nose" clifftop to see an entire view of the Hudson Valley.

"I had so much fun! Thank y'all for organizing it and I can't wait to do future outings! " -Emily Wagner '28
