“To make people laugh?” The freewheeling, New York bred comic storyteller—who made the list of Comedy Central’s “100 Greatest Standups of All Time”—is hotter than ever!

Our program this year stretches farther than before to include members of the Catskill 3500 Club and Adirondack 46 High Peaks Club, to share their journeys, photography, and guidance in exploring the world-renowned hiking of New York that stems from Mohonk Mountain House. Hike all day or choose just a few as we explore changes to the natural landscape in the stunning Shawangunk Mountains made by nature itself. Mohonk Mountain House and the Mohonk Preserve come together to share their history and introduce all guests to the natural wonders and simple beauty of hiking on this property.
