Hunter Mountain loop

New York, US

Distance

5.4 mi

Vertical Gain

2,110 ft

This loop hike climbs to the second-highest peak in the Catskills, with outstanding views from the fire tower at the summit and from several other viewpoints along the trail. Above 4000 feet and one of the NH111, this hike is a must!

This trail takes the Becker Hollow Trail (the hardest climb up Hunter) to the fire tower. From there take the Hunter Mountain Trail to a look out .1 before hoping back on the Becker Hollow Trail to head back down.
