👟Wear sturdy boots for the rocky inclines
👀The first viewpoint is the best
🐻Keep an eye out for black bears

Small but mighty, this 2-mile loop packs a punch with steep switchbacks and knockout views of Romer Mountain and the Phoenicia valley. It's a workout with a payoff: dramatic Catskills geology and the scent of oak and pine waiting at the top.
