[1] The Pre-hike Scout is a preliminary scouting hike on the trail to ensure that no changes have been made since the last hike or since the publication of the official description of the trail. Anyone can join me on the pre-hike. I do ask that you either email me or text me o let me know that you want to join me, and to get details of when and where to meet me.

From Rt. 23C take Maplecrest Road North to Maplecrest and then turn right onto Big Hollow Rd. Continue to the "end" of Big Hollow Road and park in the parking area on the right. You may also use the snow plow turn around on the left. On the left side of the road find the trail head for the Black Dome Trail (red blazed).
