    Slide loop
    The hike in via the direct route was pretty easy. Coming out and down the other side was a bit trickier and much wetter.

    Friday and Balsam Cap
    Steep, rocky some icy spots. Plane crash. Easy hike from Friday to Balsam Cap. Foggy day and warm.

    Panther return
    The hike out to panther mountain on a beautiful November day doesn’t disappoint. Panoramic views from giant ledge along the way and a good rocky catskill climb to 3700ft among the sweet scented balsam, lichen covered ledge and silhouettes of all the surrounding mountains.

    Giant Ledge
    We went to Balsam Mountain and then this. The Giant Ledge is a rocky climb but the trail is very well maintained and the views on the top are far better than that of the Balsam.

    Nice day, sunny and 42 degrees. Slushy on the way back down, spikes were helpful.

    Shandaken to 391 Moonhaw Road, West Shokan, NY, USA
    Was dreading this hike a bit since I heard it’s the toughest bushwhack in the Catskills 35, but it isn’t bad at all IF you stay on the worn path! We veered off a bit on the way up to Balsam Cap but other than that found this one very enjoyable. Clocked in at under 4 hours, 7.15mi. Good views at both Friday and just before the Balsam Cap peak. Bring bug spray! (Note: we didn’t start the recording until ~1 mi in, so the distance & elevation is more than this shows)

    Panther / Fox Hollow
    Long and steep but very quiet and rarely hiked. Lots of wildlife. The scenic view at 3250 is excellent. And the north side of Panther’s summit is rich Catskills fun.

    Friday and Balsam Cap
    Challenging bushwhack hike. This route cuts over to the site of a B-25 bomber crash site before heading up to Friday.

    Cornell/Wittenberg
    Challenging but very fun hike. Moderately steep 3.4 miles to Wittenberg summit with epic 180 degree+ views. Continuing another mile or so to Cornell you must traverse a fairly tight scramble known as the Cornell Crack. I had no trouble but others in my party had reservations, so I dropped a rope to give them some assurance on the way up. Our dog also needed a boost up; it was harder for her on the way down. Cornell has very limited views. After the return trip down to Woodland Valley we had a nice birthday celebration in the parking lot. Note that parking at the state park is $6 per car. Bathrooms and water available there.
