Rensselaer Land Trust Hike To The Snow Hole

On Sunday, July 26, at 9 am the Rensselaer Land Trust is sponsoring a hike to the Snow Hole in Petersburgh. A favorite destination of hikers along the Taconic Crest Trail, the Snow Hole is a deep crevice where snow and ice can be found year-round. We will hike the Taconic Crest Trail from the Petersburgh Pass to get to the Snow Hole, passing views to the west. The hike is 6 miles round trip but relatively easy walking with little ascent except a very short steep hill right at the start.
Bring a lunch to eat at the Snow Hole, at least a quart (or liter) of water and dress for the weather. Wear hiking boots or sturdy walking shoes. Meet at the parking area at the top of Petersburgh Pass on NY Route 2 in Petersburgh, east of Route 22 and just before the border with Massachusetts.
