There will be representatives from many of the best brands in our industry such as Osprey, North Face, Marmot,  Lowa, Merrell, Black Diamond, Princeton Tec, Leki, MSR, Thermarest, Orvis, Rio, and more.    Here in the Catskills, there is no shortage of trails that will take your breath away. If you enjoy panoramic vistas of mountains that go on forever, or ancient, cascading waterfalls, you are in the right place! There are three hundred miles of trails in this great park, with terrain that ranges from easy to very challenging. In addition to all the gear, we have the trail maps and guides books you will need for a great hike.    Several of our local hiking clubs will be represented as well, including the Catskill Mountain Club, 3500 Club, and NY/NJ Trail Conference. If you’ve been thinking about joining a hiking club, these are among the best. They can advise you on where to hike, as well as stewardship activities you can take part in. The tremendous work these organizations do has been the stimulus for many efforts to promote and support outdoor recreation and improved access to our Catskill Park. We are also very excited to have a representative from the long awaited Catskill Interpretive Center, located in Mt Tremper on hand as well! Be sure to visit with him for details.   So mark your calendars for Saturday, May 14th from 10am-4pm, and join us as we kick off the 2016 outdoor season and enter to win FREE outdoor gear!  For directions and further detail visit atkenco.com
