Hunter Mountain Fire Tower

The horse road trail is easiest route

Climb to the highest point in the Catskills, where a 1917 fire tower delivers 360-degree views across four states. The wide, switchbacked trail makes the 1,900-foot ascent more manageable, and the payoff at 4,000 feet is pure mountain magic.
