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:

    “Though a thousand miles apart, two lovers destined to meet are joined by a common thread.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “All my life long I have been sensible of the injustice constantly done to women. Since I have had to fight the world single-handed, there has not been one day I have not smarted under the wrongs I have had to bear, because I was not only a woman, but a woman doing a man’s work, without any man, husband, son, brother or friend, to stand at my side, and to see some semblance of justice done me. I cannot forget, for injustice is a sixth sense, and rouses all the others.”
    —Amelia E. Barr (1831–1919)

    “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)
