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:

    “I don’t have any doubts that there will be a place for progressive white people in this country in the future. I think the paranoia common among white people is very unfounded. I have always organized my life so that I could focus on political work. That’s all I want to do, and that’s all that makes me happy.”
    —Hettie V., South African white anti-apartheid activist and feminist. As quoted in Lives of Courage, ch. 21, by Diana E. H. Russell (1989)

    “Those who talk about individuality the most are the ones who most object to deviation, and in a few years it may be the other way around. Some day everybody will just think what they want to think, and then everybody will probably be thinking alike; that seems to be what is happening.”
    —Andy Warhol (1928–1987)

    “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)
