About this Event
Get ready for a spine-tingling hike through history — and maybe even a few ghost stories. This Halloween weekend, we’re heading deep into the Catskills for a one-of-a-kind adventure to theskeletal remains of the Overlook Mountain House, an abandoned hotel from the 1800s that now stands as a haunting ruin along one of the region’s most iconic trails.
This moderate 5-mile hike winds through beautiful forested paths, past eerie stone foundations, and up to sweeping mountain-top views that overlook the Hudson Valley. We'll also pass a fire tower (for those brave enough to climb) and possibly spot vultures circling overhead — no joke.
Throw on a costume (seriously, it makes it more fun), pack some snacks, and get ready for a day of crisp fall air, weird history, and classic Catskills vibes. After the hike, we’ll warm up with food and drinks before heading back to the city.
