Hiking the Catskills provides everything hikers need to plan day
hikes in the Catskill region of New York State: a five-county area
west of the Hudson River that includes parts of Delaware, Greene,
Otsego, Sullivan and Ulster counties. This guide selects 40 hikes
from the best among the Catskills' famous peaks above 3,500 feet,
as well as more moderate trails to backcountry waterfalls, easier
trails to some of the area's most spectacular viewpoints, and rail
trails that provide access to fragrant woodlands and unusual
geological wonders. This book provides a separate, full-color,
detailed map for each hike-making it different from books by the
Appalachian and Adirondack Mountain Clubs-and waypoint-by-waypoint
directions to guide readers along trails with confidence. Color
photos and descriptions of the history, natural wonders, and
special features of each hike help readers choose the best hikes
for their personal interests and skill levels. In a region largely
abandoned by tourists and just now seeing renewed interest from
visitors, Hiking the Catskills provides the guidance readers need
to plan exciting trips into the mountains. This book leads them to
the ridges, notches, and cloves that inspired a uniquely American
landscape painting style, the vistas that drew thousands of
vacationers here throughout the twentieth century, and the peaks
that challenge the most rugged explorers. It's time to rediscover
the Catskills, one of New York's most fascinating natural areas.
