Catskills Adventure Challenge: Rochester Hollow
The Catskills Center has put together a series of hikes as part of the Catskills Adventure Challenge. The Challenge consists of a series of hikes designed to introduce hikers to the region. Adventure Untamed is taking on the challenge! If you complete six of the eight hikes that are part of the Catskills Adventure Challenge, you can earn a patch from the Catskills Adventure Center. Adventure Untamed is planning to do all eight hikes in 2026. Next up – Rochester Hollow! Rochester Hollow is a plot of land near the Big Indian Mountain. It’s a series of three connecting trails and a quintessential hike in through the woods. The word that repeatedly comes up to describe this trail is ‘peaceful.’ The woods, remnants of old stone walls, wild life, and a walk through the woods.
