You can hike up Overlook Mountain’s easy trail in about an hour. The fire tower at the end of this short trail is positioned to give one of the most dramatic views in the Catskills.
Having never camped out before, and certainly never in the backcountry, I researched for weeks, pulled the necessary kit together, and finally screwed up enough courage to solo camp overnight in the wilderness.
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.
