Watch as I plot a trailed route in the Catskills using GaiaGPS on my phone — after which, I plot a bushwhack route up Sleeping Lion and Halcott Mountain.
This is one of my favorite hikes to do in The Catskills. This video walks you through the trails and junctions from trailhead to summit, giving you a clear sense of just how lovely this hike is.
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.
