Giant Ledge Hiking Trails & Hikes
Panther Mountain from Woodland Valley
The Woodland Valley route to Panther is not a trail section that many people use — which just makes it all the more appealing.
Giant Ledge & Panther
This classic route to Giant Ledge is a short moderate hike with a huge pay-off: a series of ledge views which are spectacular in all seasons. This is one of the most popular hiking trails in the Catskills.
Traverse Panther from Oliverea to Fox Hollow
The views on this hiking trail are some of the best in the Catskills. The route crosses the entire ridge of Panther Mountain, from south to north. This was one of the first group hikes I went on. Giant Ledge in particular is one of the most popular hikes in the area.
