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.
I write hyper-detailed trail guides and expert hiking content to help hikers like you find amazing hikes in the Catskills, Adirondacks, Gunks, Hudson Highlands, Harriman, Berkshires, and beyond.
My hiking newsletter is an amazing, free twofer…
The Ridge showcases amazing hiking trails in the Catskills, Adirondacks, Hudson Highlands, Harriman, and beyond. It’s typically sent on Wednesdays.
The Ravine showcases seasonal and informational content: how-to guides, product reviews, and recent local hiking news. Sent to subscribers toward the end of the week.
It’s an inspiring, uplifting mix—and it’s short! You won’t regret it.
