  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Where to Go Camping
    There was a statement in an older version of the Boy Scout Handbook that said: “Have you ever dreamed of hiking the wilderness trails that were worn down under moccasins hundreds of years ago? Do you hear in your imagination the almost soundless dip, dip of Indian canoe paddles or the ring of the axe of an early pioneer hewing a home out of the American wilderness? Have you followed with you mind’s eye the covered wagon on the trek across our continent? Yes, it’s fun to be a Boy Scout! It’s fun to go hiking and camping with your best friends…..to swim, to dive, to paddle a canoe, to wield the axe…..to follow in the footsteps of the pioneers who led the way through the wilderness…..to stare into the glowing embers of the campfire and dream of the wonders of the lift that is in store for you…” This is the heart of Scouting, but we don’t always know the best place to go on these outings. How better can the Order of the Arrow fulfill a part of their responsibility of service to others than to make this camping guide available? A great guide to the best camping, boating, hiking and sightseeing both in and out of the Council, but, of course, one of the best places to do real camping is at one of the Council’s reservations. Richard A. Henson or Rodney Scout Reservation, both long term camping during the summer months, or weekends through the year, affords a maximum of program.

In a world with no internet and thus no social media, helping hikers connect with each other was a valued and needed service. Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my decade or so of involvement with this club, it’s that the only thing hikers enjoy more than hiking is talking about hiking! Sharing war stories, trading bushwhack routes, and waxing euphoric about views… hikers, it would seem to me, love the replay with the like-minded as much as they love the adventure itself. But things have changed, and now that camaraderie is available in spades via social media. Leave No Trace is a national not-for-profit environmental organization on the frontlines of dealing with the good, the bad, and the ugly of managing the immense current upsurge in popularity of hiking and outdoor recreation.

The Interstate Hiking Club (IHC) is a medium-sized hiking club, organized in 1931, affiliated with the NY/NJ Trail Conference. IHC members are of various ages and diverse backgrounds. Guest are welcome! An adult must accompany anyone under 18. Where do we go? Most of our activities are centered in the NY/NJ area, some hikes are further away. The club occasionally sponsors trips in the Catskills and Pennsylvania. Our hikes are not usually accessible by public transportation. What do we do? Hikes generally are scheduled for every Sunday, and some Saturdays, as day long outings. They are graded by difficulty of terrain, distance and pace. Strenuous: More climbing, usually rugged walking, generally 9 miles or more. Moderate: Some climbing and rugged walking, but less than 9 miles. Easy: Generally easy, fairly level trails, slower pace, 6 to 8 miles. The club also maintains trails in association with the NY/NJ Trail Conference. Two Sundays a year are devoted to this service work. In addition we have done in the past, orienteering, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, swimming, canoeing, mountain biking, backpacking, and camp-out in the Adirondacks and Maine. What to bring: Footwear is very important. Hiking boots with non-slip soles are essential for all hikes .
