Mt. Beacon Fire Tower Hike
During peak fall foliage, join the New York Chapter of Hikerkind Hike Club on the challenging yet rewarding trek up to Mt. Beacon Fire Tower. Together, we’ll work hard to reach the tower where 360° views of our surroundings await us. On a clear day, you can even see the NYC skyline! After we descend from the mountain, you can spend the rest of your day exploring the charming Hudson Valley town of Beacon.
This hike is in partnership with Poe and Co. Folk Foods, chef-created, vegan, superfood dried camping meals. Drinks provided by Topo Chico.
Hikers will also receive sun and bug protection, thanks to Kinfield!
