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.

    When wedded to this goodly universe

    Of this great consummation—”
