Balsam Lake Mountain - Social Series
2022-06-09 10:00 - 15:00
Hike Photos from June 9, 2022

Our June social series hike in the Catskills will be to the fire tower at the summit of Balsam Lake Mountain. At 3729 feet elevation, Balsam lake Mountain is the 14th highest on the Catskill 3500 list. The fire tower is also part of both the Catskills Fire Tower Challenge and the ADK Fire Tower Challenge. This hike of 6 miles with 1250 feet of elevation gain will follow one of the least strenuous routes to a Catskill high peak and may be suitable for fit beginners. Much of the hike is on an old woods road with a gradual, but steady ascent.
The views from the fire tower are beautiful, overlooking the thick crown of Balsam Firs that covers the summit and gazing beyond to surrounding Catskill peaks. Check out the photos from a previous social series hike to Balsam Lake Mountain:

Kaaterskill High Peak (social series)
2022-07-07 08:00 - 17:00
Our July Catskill social series hike is Kaaterskill High Peak. KHP was once thought to be the highest peak in the Catskills because of the prominence of some of the views from the Hudson Valley and because local Hotel owners promoted the peak in their backyard as the biggest and the best. It’s actually the 23rd highest of the 35 Catskill high peaks. However, Kaaterskill High Peak (aka “High Peak”) ranks fourth in prominence among Catskill peaks and has steep sides that can be difficult.

This 6 mile hike with just under 2000 feet of elevation gain is part on trail and part bushwhack to the reach the summit canister. The bushwhack part gets steep and rough. Check out the photos from a previous social series hike (during winter) to Kaaterskill High Peak:

This hike is being presented in conjunction with the Catskill 3500 Club and the Adirondack Mountain Club. We strongly encourage you to join one or both of these clubs.

This hike is being presented in conjunction with the Catskill 3500 Club and the Adirondack Mountain Club. We strongly encourage you to join one or both of these clubs.

Big Indian (open group)
2022-09-15
Our September Catskill social series hike destination is Big Indian Mountain. At 9 miles round-trip with 2200 feet of elevation gain, it is a tester for many hikers and more strenuous than our past few social series hikes. The hike to Big Indian is mostly on trails followed by a short herd path to the summit canister.

This hike is being presented in conjunction with the Catskill 3500 Club and the Adirondack Mountain Club. We strongly encourage you to join one or both of these clubs.

Westkill Mt
2022-10-13
October’s featured Catskill Social Series hike is West Kill Mountain. Please note that this has been rescheduled from a previously announced date of October 6. The hike will be on October 13.

Westkill Mountain is the 6th highest peak in the Catskills and the highest point on the Devil’s Path trail (nearby Hunter Mountain is taller but the trail doesn’t pass over it’s summit). This trek is a great introduction to the Devil’s path on one of the gentler sections of the famous trail.

Join us on October 13 as we hike past waterfalls and great views to the evergreen clad summit.

This is a mostly moderate hike despite the lofty summit at less than an arms length shy of 3900 feet. There are one or two ledges that require minimal scrambling.

This hike is being presented in conjunction with the Catskill 3500 Club and the Adirondack Mountain Club. We strongly encourage you to join one or both of these clubs.

Contact Ed to reserve your spot on this challenging hike. Please share a sentence or two about your recent hiking experience.

Balsam Lake Mountain – Social Series
2022-11-10 08:00 - 17:00
Our November social series hike returns to Balsam Lake Mountain and it’s iconic fire tower. At 3729 feet elevation, Balsam lake Mountain is the 14th highest on the Catskill 3500 list. The fire tower is also part of both the Catskills Fire Tower Challenge and the ADK Fire Tower Challenge. This hike of 6 miles with 1250 feet of elevation gain will follow one of the least strenuous routes to a Catskill high peak and may be suitable for fit beginners. Much of the hike is on an old woods road with a gradual, but steady ascent. Will we have early season snow and ice or a beautiful fall day? Too soon to tell but be ready with appropriate gear.

This hike is being presented in conjunction with the Catskill 3500 Club and the Adirondack Mountain Club. We strongly encourage you to join one or both of these clubs.

Contact Ed to reserve your spot on this hike. Please share a sentence or two about your recent hiking experience.
