Kaaterskill

I did a hike in the Catskills today with Howie. We climbed Kaaterskill High Peak. Parked at the trailhead in Platte Cove and started up the road. At the height of land, I cut over to the snowmobile loop trail. Passed the plane wreck and then reached the path up the south side. Followed that up to Hurricane ledge where there were wide open views to the south. Lots of nice fall colors in the valley below. After a snack, continued on up to the peak and then down the path on the north side. Took the snowmobile trail back down. A nice warm, sunny day for our trek.

Summit Elevation: Kaaterskill High Peak 3655 ft
