  • Hiking and Private Property
    Catskill 3500 Club Hiking & Private Property May 2021 With the closure of Graham and Doubletop to public access, all 33 required summits are on public property and can be accessed by hiking only on public property or public easements. Nonetheless, hikers should be aware of private lands in close proximity to trails and ridges, and should avoid hiking there without permission. This brief guide is intended to help new and returning hikers avoid illegal trespassing. Contact the aspirants chair at [email protected] with any questions. Updates with current information can be found on our website www.catskill-3500-club.org Kaaterskill High Peak & Roundtop KHP is typically approached from the south, but some may prefer to come in from the west using the snowmobile trail or by bushwhacking over Roundtop. This is fine, but care must be taken to stay on the footpaths coming from the two parking areas on Gillespie Rd. Do not trespass on private land above Cortina Valley to the north of the two parking areas. Drivers should be advised that the road after the first parking area is EXTREMELY rough and is not maintained in winter. Friday Mountain A hunter’s cabin is located on private property along the East shoulder of Friday Mountain, just below 2000’. Please avoid this property altogether when ascending Friday. The best way to avoid private lands in the area is by following the woods roads along the blue track (A). It’s also much easier than heading directly up the mountain! Halcott Mountain Please do not attempt to climb Halcott from the south without permission from property owners.

I’m preparing for craft fairs, cooking, dressing the dogs in blaze orange finery, and anticipating the dreaded holiday family get-togethers. We’ve all been there, sitting around the table with Aunt Gertie and Uncle Jasper, and someone asks you about Your Hiking Thing. After all the requisite jokes about the Bataan Death March and how the only hiking Cousin Fred is doing this year is to the fridge and back to the couch… someone asks you the why question. Why do you do it? Why a list? Why in the winter? And especially why if there is no view at the top? I have said it before: the Catskill Forest Preserve is my temple and my gym. The oft repeated John Burroughs quote rings true for me: I too go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.

  • Rartioter Vol
    rartioter Vol. XII, No. 1 WINTER 1 9 7 9 BLACK DOME IN 1924 The Catskill Mountains have been known to white men for three hundred years and their valleys have been settled more than a cen- tury. It would seem as if all their summits ought by this time to be easily accessible by well known trails. Yet there are a dozen or more of the higher ones, above 3500 feet, which have no trails to their summits and which are climbed only by the exploring hiker, or perhaps a bear hunter in winter. I recently found another trackless peak, Black Dome, just under 4000 feet--3990 according to the Durham sheet of the United States Geological Survey--on a week-end climb in the northern Catskills. There is no trail over it, and the only paths that reach its flanks are faded out logging roads in the valleys north and south, attain- ing heights 1500 feet below its highest point. Black Dome is the central and highest of the three peaks that make up the Blackhead Mountains, running east and west, Black Head being the easternmost, then Black Dome and the last Thomas Cole. The other two are about fifty feet lower than the Dome. South of them is the valley of the East Kill, north that of Batavia Kill. North of Black Head runs a long ridge to Acra Point, then turning west to Windham High Peak. South this ridge runs through North Mountain and Stoppel Mountain to Kaaterskill Clove. Black Head is accessible by a good trail.

  • Regional Setting
    IV-A: Regional Setting The Batavia Kill watershed is located in the northeastern limits of the Catskill Mountains; within the Appalachian Plateau physiographic province. The headwaters of the Batavia Kill originate on the south slopes of Windham High Peak, Burnt Knob and Acra Point mountains, and the north slope of the Blackhead Range, which are some of the highest elevations in the Catskills. The Batavia Kill watershed is located entirely within Greene County. The majority of the watershed is located in the Town of Windham, with lesser portions in the Towns of Ashland and Prattsville. These three towns as well as Greene County comprise the municipal governments in the watershed. While there are several hamlets, there are no incorporated villages. A portion of the watershed is located within the protected 700,000 acre Catskill State Park. In addition, a short section of the stream at the Windham-Ashland town line carries a National Scenic River Designation from the US Park Service. While the watershed is characterized by its rural nature, it is located a convenient driving distance from several major population centers. Metropolitan New York, and the populated area of northern New Jersey are as close as 2 ½ hours by car, while the Albany/Capitol District area is approximately one hour away. Philadelphia, Boston, and Montreal are all within an easy day’s drive of the watershed. The watershed is easily accessible from the NYS Thruway, and is also bisected by NYS Route 23, one of only a few Figure IV-1 Batavia Kill Watershed Regional Location. routes that provide east-west access through the mountains.

    News and Activities Of the Mid-Hudson Mid-Hudson Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club TRAILS www.midhudsonadk.org Summer 2013 July - August MHADKer’s LEARN IMPORTANCE OF WILDERNESS FIRST AID TRAINING: INCIDENT ON SCHAGHTICOTE MT. (Thanks to Lalita Malik for sharing this important information) It was a glorious April day, perfect for hiking. The Mid Week Hikers planned to hike a section of the Appalachian Trail from Bulls Bridge to Rt. 341, in Kent. As I packed my back pack for the hike, I decided to switch to my smaller, summer pack. With less capacity, I had to remove some stuff from my pack. All winter I had carried my full first aid kit in my pack with emergency blanket, splint, triangular bandages etc. I decided I did not need all that equipment for the 7.5 mile hike, 15 miles from home. So, I removed most of my first aid kit and kept stuff required to treat scratches and bug bites, which is what we normally have on our hikes. I also ditched my tablet with the GPS and topographic maps I usually car- ried. We had a small group, Al Limone, Lenore Bruce, Nancy Vodrazka Pat Conroy, and Ramesh Naik. We took the largest car, Ramesh’s wagon, to the trail head (end) on Rt. 341 to use at the end of our hike and started our hike from Bull’s bridge. We started climbing up the hill to the viewpoint, then over to the NY Connecticut border. I was leading, Pat was sweeping. We stopped for lunch and continued hiking on the rolling ridge.

  • R Canister Before
    r canister Vol. XXIV, No. 1 WINTER 1 9 9 1 SOUTHWEST HUNTER, WHERE ARE YOU? We know you're there because we've both been to your canister before. Rich helped put it up over two years ago, and I've been there and signed in twice. But when we try together to find your canister . Our first attempt was last spring. I promised to get Rich to the old logging railroad bed, and he promised to get me to the peak. It seemed fair enough. We hiked up the Spruceton Trail to Hunter. As we climbed, we encountered some snow, but it wasn't tough going. In fact, with the bright sun shining on the snow and the ice on the trees, it was still a winter wonderland. We stopped at Hunter for a quick lunch, then took the Hunter Mountain Trail to the Devil's Path and the rail bed. Dawn the bed we hiked until Rich indicated it was time to turn uphill. A piece of cake, we thought. On our climb, we found same footprints in the snow; someone else had reached the canister this way. But we knew better than to follow tracks. There was always the chance their owner was wrong. Well, to make a long story short, we floundered: through balsam, snow, back and forth, around. And no, we didn't find the canister. Not long after that attempt, there was a group hike to Southwest Hunter, and I went along. I carefully timed our trip down the railroad bed. I locked landmarks in my mind's eye as we turned and headed uphill.
