Many of our hikes originate from Sawyer Savings Bank, 87 Market Street, Saugerties, NY. Directions to the Sawyer Savings Bank: From I-87 (Exit 20), proceed east on route 212/32 approximately one mile to a fork in the road. Make a left onto Market Street at the fork.

For hikes to the Central/Western Catskills (areas accessible primarily via Route 28), we will often meet at the rear of the the Black Bear Restaurant (formerly the Mountainside) parking lot, Route 28 and Maverick Road.

Meeting sites vary however - please call the hike coordinator to be sure of the exact meeting place.
