Hiking Mates of the Capital Region

Not for beginners

Moxham is 5.3 miles w/ 1300 feet of elevation gain. There are many overlooks along the way with wonderful views.

Right now, the forecast is for 4.5 inches of snow to fall in the days before this hike. Microspikes will likely be needed but you should have snowshoes as well (just in case).

You should be doing regular aerobic exercise and be able to keep a moderate pace before signing up for this hike.

Dogs are welcome on my outings as long as they are leashed & under your control while on the trails.

Anyone wishing to carpool from the capital district should arrange among yourselves. Anyone wanting to carpool from exit 18 Park & Ride (12 Media Dr Queensbury NY 12804) we can meet there at 7:45am.

Depending on muddy conditions we will either be on pavement and loop around or do the Wilkson trail. Please be prepared for either.
This will be approximately 4-5miles long, relatively flat. Therefore, this will likely be at a faster pace than normal to get the heart rate up.

Meet at visitor's center NLT 3pm
Those interested we can grab dinner at Amigos in Schuylerville.
