Ready for an epic rock scramble? This adventure is for you! Don’t let the mileage of this trip fool you – the challenging scramble up Bonticou Crag more than makes up for the shorter mileage. You will be climbing boulders, using both your hands and feet on this tricky rock formation. Don’t worry – your guide will be there every step of the way to support you and make sure you get to the top safely. If you love scrambling and climbing everything in sight, you will love this trip! If this is your first scramble, prepare for a challenging day – elevation gain and exposure will probably give you butterflies, but at the top you will be left with a sense of accomplishment and one of the best views in Mohonk. After taking in the views, you will hike to another scenic spot – Table Rocks – for lunch before returning on a new trail (no need to scramble down to the bottom).

Join us on this heart-pounding, picturesque adventure!
