In the heart of the Catskill Mountains in New York State within the Slide Mountain Wilderness is the popular loop trail commonly known as The Burroughs Range Loop. The loop passes over 3 peaks above 3,500ft in elevation including the Catskills highest peak, Slide Mountain at 4,180ft. A roughly 15 mile trek with approximately 5,000ft of total elevation gain, the loop can be a challenging 1 day hike but a more enjoyable overnight at one of the primitive tent sites along the route. Water can be scare on this route but there is a spring near Slide Mountain. The crisp air and balsam fir forests of this range hit the senses unlike anywhere else.
