My adk catskill guide says the trailhead for Ashokan is on Peekamoose Rd. Is there another name for the road or can anyone tell me where the parking area is? Thanks

Hello, I am interested in trying a winter bushwack in the Cats and was wondering if anyone with experience had any trips planned coming up that they wouldn't mind an extra hiker for. Stay warm and safe.

How far do you drive to hike? I find that with the rising gas prices I have been getting out to hike less and less because I have to drive so far to reach nice peaks. Just curious. cc

Anyone hiking in the Catskills tomorrow? Panther, Balsam Lake/Graham, Halcott, S.W. Hunter/Hunter, Peekamoose, Blah,blah,blah... Having fun tonight and getting a late start. PM me if you like. cc

I just read a trip report where the climber was once again sizing up people on the trail, "wearing sneakers and cotton sweat pants. Ugggh!" I have been lectured for hiking in jeans, not carrying enough water, cotton t-shirts and every other thing that the peak baggers can throw at me (while I'm...

I read one recent trip report and it stated that the trail had been used by hikers with snowshoes, crampons, and just boots. Has anyone else been there lately? I was thinking of climbing maybe Blackhead tomorrow and don't want to carry snowshoes if I'm not going to post hole and ruin the trail.

Hello, I'm new to the site. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone was up for a hike this coming Sunday in the Catskills. I was thinking Panther via Giant Ledge from the Slide Mt. Road, although I'm up for other suggestions.
