Overlook Mountain Thru-Hike
Saturday, October 25, 2025
We are hoping to catch a bit of the last fall foliage on this hike!
Today’s hike has a little bit of everything. We’ll start the day with a steep ascent to the Overlook Mountain House and spend some time exploring its ruins. Next, we’ll visit the Overlook Fire Tower where, if you dare to climb to the top, you’ll have an unparalleled 360-degree view of the Catskill Mountains. As we continue on we’ll visit a remote mountain lake and end the day at a beautiful waterfall. This Catskill ‘sightseeing’ adventure is one of a kind!
