Hunter Mountain Fire Tower
Join our outdoor leaders for a challenging day hike to the scenic Hunter Mountain Fire Tower in the Catskills.
This outing is a 7.8-mile loop-style hike through scenic Catskill forest with a gradual 2,000ft ascent. As you climb your way up one of the Catskill 3600 peaks, you’ll see the forest change from deciduous oaks and maples to groves of hemlocks and birches covered in moss. At the top, you'll be greeted with an awe inspiring 360-degree view of the Catskills.
