Devil's Path (hiking Trail) - Common Day Trips

Common Day Trips

Many common hiking routes, particularly those made by aspiring members of the Catskill Mountain 3500 Club, use part of the Devil's Path and its connecting peaks. Many combinations are possible.

  • Loop over Indian Head using the Jimmy Dolan Notch Trail.
  • Climb of Indian Head, Twin or both via the JDNT.
  • Climb of Twin, Sugarloaf or both using the Roaring Kill and Pecoy Notch trails.
  • Loop over Sugarloaf using the Roaring Kill, Pecoy Notch and Mink Hollow trails (this has become much more common since both of the latter two were rerouted to connect with the newly built third in 1999).
  • Climb of Sugarloaf, Plateau or both via the Mink Hollow Trail (less common since the shorter, northern stretch of the Mink Hollow Trail was abandoned)
  • Shuttle hike of Plateau with Mink Hollow Trail.
  • Climb of Hunter from Stony Clove Notch, with Hunter Mountain Trail
  • Loop over Hunter from Diamond Notch via Spruceton and Hunter Mountain trails. May also include a bushwhack to Southwest Hunter.
  • Shuttle hike over West Kill from Diamond Notch to Spruceton trailhead.

Famous quotes containing the words common, day and/or trips:

    “What had really caused the women’s movement was the additional years of human life. At the turn of the century women’s life expectancy was forty-six; now it was nearly eighty. Our groping sense that we couldn’t live all those years in terms of motherhood alone was “the problem that had no name.” Realizing that it was not some freakish personal fault but our common problem as women had enabled us to take the first steps to change our lives.”
    —Betty Friedan (20th century)

    “As a fond mother, when the day is o’er,
    Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
    Half willing, half reluctant to be led,”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    “A great proportion of the inhabitants of the Cape are always thus abroad about their teaming on some ocean highway or other, and the history of one of their ordinary trips would cast the Argonautic expedition into the shade.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
