Ascend to the summit of Hunter Mountain, the second-highest peak in the Catskills, and discover the historic Hunter Mountain Fire Tower perched at a breathtaking 4,040 feet. This moderately challenging hike follows the scenic Spruceton Trail through diverse forest ecosystems, offering spectacular views along the way. At the summit, climb the 60-foot steel fire tower for an unparalleled 360-degree panorama of the Catskills wilderness, surrounding mountain ranges, and on clear days, views extending to neighboring states. This iconic trail combines natural beauty, fascinating history, and the exhilaration of standing atop one of New York's most magnificent peaks.

This hike covers a 7-mile round trip with approximately 1,800 feet of elevation gain. While the trail follows a former access road and is well-maintained without technical rock scrambles, participants should be prepared for a sustained uphill climb. Good hiking boots, at least 2 liters of water, rain gear (regardless of forecast), and high-energy snacks are essential. The fire tower cabin is typically open on summer weekends when staffed by volunteers from the Catskill Center. Transportation is provided from convenient pickup locations in NYC, including the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and Grand Central in Manhattan. All meals and snacks are included during your adventure.
