Everything about the hike was amazing. The climb up to the 2nd tier is where the fear might kick in but Remember !! NO FEAR AT 2 TIER.

Kaaterskill Falls

Although this is a super short hike, it is definitely a tough one! The quick, steep climb is totally worth it once you reach the 260 foot cascade and pool at the end. Hike along the trail, hugging Spruce Creek all the way to the falls. If you hike in the spring, the creek and the falls will be raging but you can't go wrong all year. There's great ice climbing in the winter and the fall leaves a...

Summit North Mountain

Have you ever wanted to feel as if you were hiking two different locations at once? If so, then North Mountain is definitely somewhere to check out.

On my second trip, I didn't want i...

North-South Lake offers a campground right by the lake that makes this place very family friendly. It is al...

There are some steep sections that will get your heart pumping, though, and a stunning payoff is waiting for you at the end.From the trailhead, follow the blue blazes up the hill. After a short while, keep your eyes peeled for a trail sign. It's har...
