Halcott Mountain is short but sweet (steep). This 4-mile round-trip bushwhack to find and sign the logbook in the summit canister doesn’t mess around as most routes climb 1800 feet straight up the fall line. Some locals pronounce the mountain Hawk-it and a lot of non-locals pronounce it Hal-cot, but however you say it this Catskill 3500 peak makes for a memorable and enjoyable day.

You must be in adequate shape for a hike of this length.  Please wear sturdy hiking shoes or boots and carry light layers of clothing that can be added or subtracted depending on the temperatures.  Depending on how the season progresses, we may need traction devices for ice.
