Misery Mt t/h options
Misery Mt can be accessed from Robinson Hollow and Mattison Hollow, on the west side of TCT, and Bentley Hollow (off rte 43) from the east .
From Cherry Plain on rte 22 take Mattison Hollow to the t/h where parking is possibly a problem. I have not been there but the trailguide states that the Mattison Rd is a narrow,dead end and the road cannot be obstructed. I have used the Madden Road t/h and the Petersburgh Pass t/h, but neither of these are the closest ones.
I can give you directions to the other trailheads and additional distance/elevation info if you like. Or see Natural Areas of Rensselaer Cty, 2nd edition. There are also map sets of the TCT sold at bookstore in Albany if that is nearby for you?
I am curious as to why you are drawn to Misery Mt. As I recall there were no lookouts and it's summit was not easy to discern from any other high points along that section of trail.
