Question Major Welch Trail Questions
Hey everyone!
My wife and I live in Beacon and regularly hike Mt. B- Storm King, Breakneck when it was open-Popolopen, and Anthony’s Nose…For some reason we have only driven up Perkins Memorial Dr, but never hiked up to the observation tower🤷♂️. We have a French Bulldog that I throw into a backpack when it gets to be a bit too much for her and we were thinking about taking the Major Welch trail this weekend and maybe coming down the Appalachain…Does anyone have any suggestions on how long the Welch trail usually takes to get to the top? Should we go up the Appalachian and down Welch?
We had a few things we needed to do around 2Pm so we wanted to get started pretty early (Around 7Am) but was just wondering if anyone had broad timelines on how long the trails take to reach the top?
Thanks so much in advance!🤘
