Approximate planning ranges; allow extra time for traffic and winter conditions.

Plan a road trip to 64 Klein Avenue in Hunter using the New York State Thruway and the Catskills approaches. Albany and Stewart are regional airport options; New York City airports require a longer onward journey. If arriving by train, arrange the transfer from the station ahead of time.

Use the main base for lessons, rentals and ticket services. The North Lot off Route 23A and Deming Road suits visitors who already have lift access and equipment; it has no ticket sales, lockers or rentals. Allow extra time for winter roads and busy arrivals.
