About Destinations
Overlook Mountain at Woodstock, NY (Intermediate-to-Advance)
WEATHER

TRAILHEAD
SUGGESTED TRAIL
HISTORY
In 1921 was the site of a secret organizational meeting of what was to become the Communist Labor Party of America. The hotel again burned down in 1923, and architect Frank P. Amato was hired by owner Morris Newgold to redesign and rebuild it. This design was never completely built, as the hotel's elevation and lack of rail transportation made it difficult for customers to reach the site, compounding owner Newgold's financial difficulties. The State of New York acquired much of the land, and the hotel was boarded up in 1940. Further fire damage in the mid-1960s brought down a rooftop tower which had remained standing until that point. The ruins of the hotel are accessible from the main trail.
Hunter Mountain (Advanced)
WEATHER
Get a more detailed forecast here.
TRAILHEAD
SUGGESTED TRAIL
HISTORY
Originally named Greenland Mountain, in the mid-19th century the mountain was renamed. Like the town and the village, Hunter takes its name from John Hunter, a somewhat despised local landlord. It is not known when the mountain was first climbed, or by whom. A popular local legend has it that Hunter, or some other later landowner, went to the summit with a hand level in order to be sure they had indeed purchased the Catskills' highest peak, and were satisfied until an "unknown" peak appeared on the southern horizon — Slide Mountain, the range's true highest peak but not identified as such until 1886 (which makes this legend unlikely to have any basis in fact, as the necessary clearing at the summit for the fire tower was made well afterwards).
Schunnemunk Mountain (Beginner-to-Intermediate)
WEATHER

DESTINATION
RECOMMENDED TRAIL
LEARN MORE
The name "Schunemunk" means "excellent fireplace" in Lenape, and the Lenni Lenape had a village on the northern tip of the mountain. During the American Revolution, the mountain was often the site of skirmishing between Tory and Patriot irregulars. More on Wikipedia.
Sam's Point & Ice Caves (Intermediate-to-Advanced)
WEATHER
Get a more detailed forecast here.
TRAILHEAD
RECOMMENDED TRAIL
LEARN MORE
Hook Mountain was known to Dutch settlers of the region as Verdrietige Hook, meaning "Tedious Point", which may have been a reference to how long the mountain remained in view while sailing past it along the Hudson River, or for the troublesome winds that sailors encountered near the point. Hook Mountain has also been known in the past as Diedrick Hook. More on Wikipedia.
Gertrude's Nose at Minnewaska (Intermediate)
Kaaterskills Falls (Beginner-to-Intermediate)
WEATHER
Get a more detailed forecast here.
TRAILHEAD
SUGGESTED TRAIL
Tap map for details. Please note that this is a 3 to 3.5-mile trail total.
HISTORY
"Kaaterskill Falls is a two-stage waterfall on Spruce Creek in the eastern Catskill Mountains of New York, between the hamlets of Haines Falls and Palenville in Greene County. The two cascades total 260 feet (79 m) in height, making Kaaterskill Falls one of the highest waterfalls in New York, and one of the Eastern United States' tallest waterfalls."
Black Rock Forest (Intermediate)
WEATHER
Get a more detailed forecast here.
TRAILHEAD
There is a $5 parking fee, which is a donation to the non-profit that manages the park.
SUGGESTED TRAIL
This is INTERMEDIATE 4-mile loop (see below for ratings) that covers all of the amazing features and views in this forest. Tap map for details.
HISTORY
The forest began to grow in the area about 14,000 years ago, with the retreat of the glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age. Originally, like many post-glacial forests, it consisted of evergreen conifers such as spruce and fir, but as the climate warmed they gave way to the deciduous species of oak and maple that now predominate.
Established by a local physician, Dr. Ernest G. Stillman, in 1928, the forest was the property of Harvard University until 1989. The Consortium has invested heavily in facilities to improve its research and educational missions and promote sustainability, erecting several green buildings in the middle of the forest with guest facilities, classrooms, and laboratories. Its educational facilities are used by groups at every level, from elementary grades to college undergraduates. Over 400 papers have been published from research done in the forest.
Mt. Tremper (Advance)
WEATHER
Get a more detailed forecast here.
TRAILHEAD
SUGGESTED TRAIL
HISTORY
The mountain was first known as Timothyberg, in the vernacular of the early Dutch settlers of the Catskills. The area was first settled in the 1780s. Its location near the creeks and valleys made it ideal for barkpeeling, the first major industry of the Catskills. Bark from the many eastern hemlocks on its slopes was a rich source of tannin, and leather hides were often brought to the region to be tanned. The creek valley made it possible to easily transport them to and from the Hudson River at Kingston to the east, and the later development of the Ulster and Delaware Railroad (UDRR) made it even easier. The road up the south side of the mountain, which forest historian Michael Kudish calls the best example of an extant bark road in the Catskills, was built for this purpose. By the end of the century, since a synthetic process for creating tannin had made it less necessary to harvest large acres of forest, it was being used for quarrying instead.
Storm King Mountain (Intermediate-to-Advanced)
WEATHER
Get a more detailed forecast here.
TRAILHEAD
SUGGESTED TRAIL
This is an INTERMEDIATE trail (see below for ratings) with some of the most epic views of the Hudson Valley, plus Cold Spring and Breakneck Ridge views across the river.
PRO-TIP
Approach the trailhead from the north side - it's safer. Consider Newburgh Brewing Company after.
HISTORY
New York physician Ernest Stillman donated the park's initial 800 acres (today 1,972 acres) to the Palisades Interstate Park Commission in 1922, hoping to protect land surrounding the Storm King Highway.
The park was the focus of preservation efforts in the early 1960s after a proposal by Consolidated Edison to build a hydro-electric power plant on the property. The Scenic Hudson Preservation Conference was formed by citizens opposed to the project, and the proposal was eventually dropped following a 17-year battle to preserve the park's natural state.
A 1999 forest fire at the park caused the detonation of unexploded ordnance that had been fired over 100 years prior by a cannon manufacturer across the river. Additional unexploded shells were also discovered that likely originated from a nearby West Point artillery range.
Balsam Mountain (Advance)
WEATHER
Get a more detailed forecast here.
TRAILHEAD
SUGGESTED TRAIL
PRO-TIP
Shorten your hike by doubling back vs. doing the loop.
HISTORY
In 1885, political machinations by the Ulster County delegation to the state legislature led to the Catskill counties being included in the newly created Forest Preserve along with the Adirondacks. Tax-delinquent lands, many of them abandoned by loggers and tanners who had taken all the harvestable timber, which had become the county's by default were transferred to the state as a way of settling the county's outstanding property tax obligations to the state. They were to remain "forever wild", with no timber being harvested again from them. In 1894, a more strongly worded version of the law was incorporated into the state constitution as Article 14.
Indian Head Mountain (Very Advanced)
WEATHER
Get a more detailed forecast here.
TRAILHEAD
SUGGESTED TRAIL
This is an ADVANCED 6.5-to-7-mile loop (see below for ratings) with a gradual climb to the top of Indian Head Mountain on the infamous Devil's Path trail, one of the most challenging trails in the NY. Plan for an all day trip. You will be exhausted, but you won't regret having made it to the top.
PRO-TIP
Don't forget to check out Black Chasm Falls in the Platte Cove Preserve.
HISTORY
The Devil's Path is a hiking trail in the Greene County section of the Catskill Mountains of New York, sometimes described as one of the more challenging trails in the New York Tri-state area.
About Trip Ratings
Understanding Trip Ratings. No one left behind.
All of the selected Spring Hike trails are BEGINNER-to-INTERMEDIATE.
However, they are all rated INTERMEDIATE here due to the impact of unexpected spring weather conditions (i.e. remaining snow and ice, spring rain, highs and lows on same day).
Updated Nov 2025
INTRO
Ratings are for trips, not trails. They're intended to be a one-size-fits-all gauge of the difficulty of destinations and activities (including backpacking, hiking, biking, kayaking, etc) based on real-time feedback from guests.
Trip Ratings were developed by Outerthere as just one signal for guests to quickly determine if they can/should participate on a trip.
Ratings DO NOT account for
- Seasonal and weather variability (extreme heat or cold, icey and snowy conditions, slippery wet leaves);
- Extra equipment and weight you're carrying (besides water and layers);
- Individual physical state (existing or unexpected injuries, "bad" ankles, knees and/or poor balance, you're coming down with "something"); and
- Individual mental state (you're just not having a good day on the day of your trip).
PACE
Everyone goes at their own pace and regardless of the pace you're on, you will never get left behind or be made to feel as though you’re slowing down your group. Whether you’re coming out for fitness or to just enjoy nature, the pace of the group can accommodate you.
BEGINNER PACE
Beginner pace trips and activities are for anyone physically active at least one to three times per week, including kids ages 5+.
Beginner hiking trips, for example, may cover 0 to 3 miles in distance where you will be walking across unpaved, natural terrain anywhere between 2 to 4 hours with plenty of breaks or an experience will include basic training.
Elevation is within 1,000 feet. And some features may require you to use your hands for leverage, balance, and even getting up or down.
Beginner pace trips are sometimes also labeled "Easy" or "Beginner-friendly" and in the case of water-based trips (i.e. kayaking), will be on calmer lakes and slow moving rivers. For beginner camping trips, we may go from trailhead to campground without backpacking. The pace will be slow to allow you to enjoy your experience to more solidly connect with others and nature.
Regardless of the pace you're able to keep, you will not be left behind and will be supported with demonstrations or other instruction until you're comfortable performing the basic activity.
Beginner pace trips are recommended for anyone who little-to-no experience, but wants to get more acquainted with that activity.
FAMILY FRIENDLY PACE
Like Beginner pace trips and activities, but with more consideration to kids and pets.
For example, other parents/nannies may be present and are happy to support you and your kid, activities are considerate of your kids attention spans and abilities, baby changing stops and areas are considered, area is walkable with carrier or stroller, etc.
INTERMEDIATE PACE
Intermediate pace trips and activities are a bit more challenging than Beginner pace trips, but completely doable for anyone active 3 to 5 times per week, including pre-teenagers.
An Intermediate pace trip may cover 3 to 7 miles, during which you'll be moving anywhere between 4 to 8 hours with breaks.
If you're participating in an Intermediate pace trip, you will be expected to have had some basic experience with this activity. You may already own some gear and/or equipment specifically designed for the activity and will be OK with unexpected weather.
And you may even be asked to support Beginners transitioning up to Intermediate pace.
Elevation is within 3,000 feet. And some features may require you to use your hands for leverage, balance, and even getting up or down. You'll feel it in your calves, quads, hams, shoulders, back, and arms next day.
Intermediate pace water-based trips (i.e. kayaking, rafting) generally assume you're comfortable in open water and/or with fast-moving water. Although you don't have to know how to swim, if you're participating in an Intermediate trip, it's recommended.
You will need to focus and stay alert at all times for your safety.
When you’re done, you may say to yourself you’ll never do a trip like that again, but afterwards, you’ll look forward to the next one.
These trips are recommended for anyone interested in stepping up their outdoor game or anyone about to start a training program.
ADVANCED PACE*
Advanced pace trips and activities are intended for anyone (including teenagers) who is active almost every day and could probably put together their own trip, but prefers going in a group with other Advanced fam.
They may cover 7 or more miles during which you'll be moving 8+ hours. Destinations, elevation and weather will be challenging.
If you're participating in an Advanced pace trip, you will be expected to have had some basic experience with this activity. You may already own all gear and/or equipment specifically designed for the activity and are knowledgeable with how to use it.
Advanced pace water-based trips (i.e. kayaking, rafting) will require you to comfortable in all types of water. You should know how to swim.
These trips are recommended for anyone thinking about DIY trips and need some additional guidance, anyone training to do epic, multi-day treks, and/or anyone interested in mixing up their normal weekly workout.
*Please be aware that some fam will attend an Advanced pace trip convinced that they are prepared. However, they may discover that they are not as prepared as they expected. Reasons why someone is going at a slower pace can include injury, dehydration, affected mental state, anything.
That is perfectly normal and in no way reflects a miscommunication or misunderstanding by anyone. Like it says in our Disclaimers, sh_t happens and your trip host can manage.
Depending on the circumstances, other fam in a group may be asked to support fam who are having a more challenging time than expected; and that's literally the advantage to joining group-based experiences like the ones on Outerthere - you may get asked to support each other and nobody will be left behind.
As a reminder, trips are safe spaces and no one will be made to feel as though they are being a burden or left behind.
SCOUTING
Scouting trips are meant for us to "test the adventure" (like breaking gadgets on purpose to see if they'll hold up to regular use) and figure out all the risks before planning a safe adventure for everyone else.
That said, since we won't always know what to expect, sometimes these scouting trips are very easy and even boring.
Or they are very challenging and extremely dangerous. We won't know until we try it.
Either way, they're fun for anyone who has already participated in Intermediate or Advanced trips, are open to anything and don't mind the unexpected inconveniences (weather, car issues, whatever) that come up on the way to a new experience.
These trips are recommended for anyone with advanced outdoor skills, lots of experience in the outdoors and a variety of outdoor gear.
