Today’s adventure starts on the Devil’s Path, one of the most challenging trails in the Northeast. On our way to the top of Hunter, we’ll detour off the marked trail and bushwhack over to Southwest Hunter. This mountain was originally known as Leavitt’s Peak and was the last one to officially ‘join’ the Catskill 3500 Club. Will you be the first to locate its summit canister? We’ll then continue on to Hunter’s summit where we’ll visit the highest-elevation fire tower in New York State.
Hunter and Southwest Hunter are required peaks for Catskill 3500 Club Membership and #2 and #15 Catskill High Peaks (elevation 4,032’ and 3,755’).
