This past weekend a few of us from our hiking club tested out a hike planned for later the summer. We started at the Montauk train station, then headed along the sound through Hither Hills State Park. The second half of the hike followed the southern shore of LI through Napeague State Park to Amagansett.
While it was a hot day in the city, it was much cooler out there, which was very pleasant. The first half of the hike was relatively easy, with mild ups and downs, mostly in the woods with occasional pops out to the beach. Once we reached the sandy beach to the south, the hike became much more difficult, despite being fast. Walking on sand is hard and it's also slower. We ended up cutting in to the streets early to make it to our train on time.
The hike clocked in at 15.5 miles; the elevation gain is unknown.
