There are two 4000 foot mountains in the Catskills NY. 6 hour drive from home but we are heading to Erie PA so it is pretty much on the way. We made the plans a while ago so you get what you get with weather. Yesterday and last night they had some flooding in the area. We passed a few closed roads and the rivers are way up. I got to the trailhead at 1:00 and it was light rain and mist. The trail starts with two stone entrance pillars. The trail starts along a river which was very high and then heads up like most New England trails. Straight up to the top. These trails were created before they invented switch backs. The trail was part river and part trail. Light rain pretty much the whole way to the top and then it stopped for most of the way down. Nice fire tower at the top but not a lot of views today. I went up and down on the Becker Hollow trail which is 5 miles RT. Saw one other person. It really was a nice day in many ways. Maybe 60-65 degrees and comfortable even though I was wet. Dense woods with fog and clouds drifting around.
