The Catskills - The Catskills Six Hike and Bushwhack
Friday Mountain (3692’), Balsam Cap Mountain (3608’), Rocky Mountain (3487’), Lone Mountain (3700′), Peekamoose Mountain (3819′), and Table Mountain (3825′) via the Phoenicia East Branch Trail, the Peekamoose – Table Trail, and extensive bushwhack – All six peaks part of the Catskill 3500 – Hiked May 22, 2020
From the Denning Trailhead, we followed the Phoenicia East Branch Trail to the Peekamoose – Table Trail, and from there, we started bushwhacking up the Neversink River when we reached the river crossing on the trail. This is one of the longer ways to do these peaks, but it means it is a loop hike and you only need on vehicle to make the hike.
From the Neversink trail crossing, we made our way up the Neversink River following what’s called the Fisherman’s Path. This path is an unmarked herd path that starts off fairly easy to follow, but eventually disappears as you continue upstream. By then, you’re just bushwhacking along the river. At a certain point, we turned off and began ascending to the summit of Friday Mountain. From Friday Mountain, we traveled across the trailless peaks of Balsam Cap, Rocky and Lone Mountains, before reaching the trail on Table Mountain. From there we hiked south to Peekamoose Mountain, before backtracking to the summit of Table and from there, descending the Peekamoose Table Trail back to the Phoenicia East Branch Trail, and then to the Denning Trailhead.
Definitely a long day, but well worth it to traverse one of the Catskills deepest wilderness and most wild collection of trailless peaks.
