Catskill 3500' Summits
Slide Mountain
The Catskill High Peaks are all of the mountains in New York's Catskill Mountains above 3,500 ft (1,067 m) in elevation. According to our bylaws, there must be at least a 250 foot drop between the peak and any other peak on the list, or the peak must be at least ½ mile away from any other peak on the list.
In all there are 35 peaks that meet these criteria with the highest peak being Slide Mountain topping out at 4,180'.
The peaks can be broken into 3 general zones: northern,
central and southern which makes for convenient planning given major roads
and correspond with the NY-NJ Trail Conference Maps.
See
trail guides and maps here.
