Catskill Peak Experiences / Carol Stone White
Catskill Peak Experiences covers 3500 Club history, strenuous marathons, misadventures, meeting wildlife, weather, winter, being lost, navigating, the highs of the peaks, and mysteries. Having experienced bits of all of those scenarios, I recommend that you please read this book as you begin or continue to hike the magnificent Catskills. The episodes and narration will save you the anguish that befell others that fortunately survived to hike another day. --Joe Gardner, Outings Chair, Sierra Club Hudson-Mohawk Group
The Catskills have provided and will continue to provide, as evidenced in the stories that White has assembled, a rare opportunity to explore the uncharted, to experience a true wilderness adventure, and to challenge one s abilities. ... Reading these stories will instill an appreciation for the many values this tremendous wilderness resource provides. --From the foreword by William Rudge, Natural Resources Supervisor, Region 3, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
In those mountains we explore nature with all our senses: feeling the stony path beneath our trudging feet; hearing the rhapsodic birds after a recent rain; seeing the contours of crags unfold; smelling a stand of snow-coated pine; sampling a wild berry bush. It is my prayer that this book be not only an armchair delight, but also be an inspiration, bringing each reader closer to the Spirit of nature. --Skip Doyle, Conservation Chair, New York North Jersey Chapter, Appalachian Mountain Club
