Hiking 22 Miles Along the Catskills Escarpment - Great American Hikes Ep 4

What a great video! I’ve camped at North Point, Burnt Acres, Mary’s Glen, many many times, all in the 70’s. That shining silver ribbon river! REI down bag, Eureka Highlight 75 w/ an Optimus 80 stove ( which works to the day) all in a Kelly D4. Colin Fletcher helped.

Lovely trail and very pleasant walk. Wonderful views and your music makes the hike seem effortless. Narrated part is just wonderfully done here.

Appreciate the long-form and editing. Felt like I was there.

Great video! thanks for this one! :) I was excited to get that notification. I had it playing while I was working so I will watch it again.

@19:40 I got lost in the fog at night in Harriman, On top the ever exposed Bald Rocks. Was struggling to find the trail when all the sudden, in the beam of my headlight through the thick fog, a set of glowing eyes peering back and me. The pure fright that deer instilled in us that moment was utterly tense. Hah!

Love your video and audio quality. The voice-overs are really well done. I don't understand how y'all don't have more followers.

Rewatched several of your videos, the format is exactly the way a hiking vid should be! A friend and I have been hiking the high peaks for several years you captured it perfectly, in your other video. Notifications on can’t wait for another. Love these! Thank you

So that's the entire trail. Never seen it before. Thanks🙂

I think you guys make great videos and I enjoy them very much and looking forward to seeing many more. Keep up the good work guys. Dwayne

One of our favorite hikes here in the Catskills! Great video.

“I just blew my own mind”😂😂 still laughing 😂

Amazing

awesome video! been eyeing this trail for a while, had no idea it was littered with so many good views - might give it a go in the fall

Loved this video, I've only done the last part of this trail and absolutely loved it - y'all have inspired me to do the whole thing. For what its worth, I think those are the Berkshires across the way! :)

Cool 😎

It's not exactly a "great American hike" but if you have a free few days to spend in the Catskills I'd definitely recommend the Burroughs-Panther loop in which you start with slide mountain (Catskills highest), go over Cornell and Wittenberg, and spend the night at a nice camping area halfway down Wittenburg. The next day go down past woodland valley campground and up to giants ledge and Panther. After summiting panther mountain, backtrack and go past Winnesook lake toward the slide mountain parking area. It's an excellent 2-day, 20-mile trip if you're in the area. If your looking for a more laid-back, casual trip you could go from alder lake to balsam lake mountain fire tower along Millbrook ridge and camp by the lean-to in the area (great to watch the sunset from the tower) then double back the way you came the next day. Bout 14 miles round trip but definitely one of the more remote areas of the Catskills and has plenty of great views of Alder, Beecher, and Balsam lakes. It's also mostly in deciduous forests so could be great with autumn color.

I have done the lower section Twice....

What are the appropriate dates you did this hike? I’m planning on doing it with my son and it looks like the perfect time
