Little Ashokan
The bushwhack to Little Ashokan is one of the steeper and sketchier routes I’ve hiked in the Catskills: craggy ledges, loose dirt and rocks, lots of blowdown. But the summit is magical, and the view it affords it is startlingly beautiful.

Ashokan High Point Information
This is one of the most popular day hike peaks in the Catskills. Weekends see a lot of causal hiker traffic, and relatively few people seem well-prepared. After an easy 2.7 mile (4.4 km) hike up to the junction, the final climb to the summit is a very steep mile — the trail switches suddenly from easy hiking to difficult hiking. But it’s during the descent where you’ll be most grateful for the traction that good hiking boots provide. Ashokan High Point is a place where proper hiking footwear can help prevent a bad tumble.
