Alander from Bash Bish

This is a great hike if you crave solitude among mountain laurel and pitch pines, as well as interesting geology — but also enjoy solid scenic views! The parking area is the same lot used by visitors to Bash Bish Falls.

 Seasonal Notes for Alander

Spring, Summer, Fall

Like Tremper and Overlook in the Catskills, Alander Mountain is home to many timber rattlesnakes. In the warmer months, they will warm themselves in the sun, sometimes in the middle of a trail. Just be aware, keep an eye out, and give them a wide berth; they are pretty docile creatures unless you get in their space.
