The last Catskill Fire Tower Challenge hike we did with Kara was Overlook Mountain and Echo Lake trail. The last time we came to Overlook fire tower, it was still winter and everything was white and frozen. This time it was a rainy, fall morning. We decided we were not going to let the rain…

Hiking Mount Tremper Tower

ByHiking Biking Trails October 1, 2022October 3, 2022

Since we want our friend to complete the Catskill Fire Tower Challenge, we took her hiking Mount Tremper tower first. This is one of the easiest hikes for me since the trail is just a continuous uphill. There are no downhills and uphills that would make this problematic. This might be a little boring for…

The last on the list for the Catskills fire tower challenge was Balsam Lake Mountain Fire Tower/Observation. It was another cold day for a refreshing hike in the Catskills so why not? The drive to the tower started off as we headed in the wrong direction. Then we turned around and went the right way,…

The last time we did Mount Tremper Catskills fire tower challenge, it was hot and the climb seemed endless. Today, it was a beautiful day so we decided to redo this tower challenge. Once we got to the parking lot there were already two cars there. Since it was President’s Day, people were off and…
