Catskills Climate / Recommended Months for Hiking
Posted: Sat Apr 02, 2016 8:04 pm
Hi,
I live in Colorado and I've always been fascinated with mountains back east so I hope soon to do a hiking trip in the Catskills. I think it's the variety of trees, colors, and abundance of lakes that attracts me, along with the history. (Here in Colorado we have don't have a big variety in deciduous trees -- mainly aspens.)
Can anyone tell me what the climate is like? I imagine it to be fairly humid in the summer with a fair amount of insects buzzing around.
Is there a recommended month during the summer or fall when weather/length of day is optimum? I would like to do my hiking when the humidity is not so high.
Thank you very much in advance.
