About This Trail

A steady mountain climb to the 3,655-foot summit through dense forest with limited views from the wooded top, though a nearby lookout offers a reward. The trail gains roughly 1,700 feet over about 5 miles one way. Part of the Catskill 3500 Club peak list, this route sees less traffic than neighboring escarpment trails.
