Vly not

Howie and I did a short hike in the western Catskills today. We climbed Vly mountain from the north side. Parked near the last house on CR 3 (with the white porcelain toilet planter ... nice touch) where the pavement ends. Then, we walked up the steep, gravel road to the ridge where there was a hunting shack (nobody there). Opposite the shack a path begins that follows the state land boundary and leads all the way to the summit. I lost it in the middle section, but the woods were open enough to allow for easy passge. Found the path again and then reached the top. I signed the notebook in the canister and had a snack. Looked for some views but found only partial views through the trees. Headed back down to the car.

Summit Elevation: Vly 3529 ft
Round-trip Distance: 4.5 mi
Elevation Change: 1860 ft
