Shawangunk Round (NY)
The Shawangunk mountains (“Gunks”) are renowned for their beauty, accessibility, and opportunities for climbing and other outdoor recreation. There is one well-established ultra-distance FKT—the SRT (Shawangunk Ridge Trail). This FKT establishes another logical route, comprising the longest possible perimeter loop in the Gunks that doesn’t use any out-and-backs, bushwhacking, or public roads. In total, the route shows up as 51.2 miles on GPS (though is probably a few miles longer than that in actuality) and has about 8000’ of elevation gain.
