On Saturday, October 2, at 9 am, join the Rensselaer Land Trust and the Mohawk-Hudson Chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club on a hike to the roof of Rensselaer County. Berlin Mountain, at 2,798 feet, is the highest point in Rensselaer County, and its open summit provides wonderful views of the Taconics and of Mt. Greylock and the Berkshires. We’ll start at Petersburgh Pass on NY Route 2, and on our way we’ll cross Berlin Pass, where the Albany Road ran in the 1700s.
This will be a moderately strenuous hike, about 5 miles with some short steep uphill and downhill sections. Wear boots or sturdy shoes. Bring lunch, snacks and plenty of water and be prepared for cool and windy conditions on the summit. Register in advance by contacting Nick Conrad at 279-1963 or nbconrad@msn.com.
