Slide, Cornell, and Wittenberg Trail Hike
Nestled in the heart of the Catskill Mountains of New York, the Slide, Cornell, and Wittenberg trail hike offers an invigorating adventure for outdoor enthusiasts. This trail loop is often referred to as the “Burroughs Range Trail” and is renowned for the panoramic views from each of its three peaks.
Slide Mountain: The tallest of the Catskills, Slide Mountain’s summit provides hikers with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Its elevation and unique alpine vegetation make it a standout among the Catskills.
Cornell Mountain: A challenging ascent with some requiring the use of hands, Cornell Mountain is a true testament to the ruggedness of the Catskills. Its peak offers a serene spot to rest and absorb the beauty of the landscape.
Wittenberg Mountain: Known for arguably the best vista in the Catskills, Wittenberg’s summit offers a panoramic view of the Ashokan Reservoir and a vast stretch of the Hudson Valley. The sight from this peak, especially during sunrise or sunset, is a memory many hikers cherish.
