- At nearly 4,200 ft, Slide Mountain stands as the tallest peak in the Catskills! Complete with quartz pebble lined pathways and boreal forests, this hike is full of resplendent wonders. Come climb to its pinnacle in this second episode of the "Unboring Exploring" Catskills trilogy!
Very informative and right to the point...perfect summary, thanks!
Thank you so much for tuning in!
Stole my comment., LOL
This is great!! Thanks for posting!
Slide is an enjoyable hike, we continued on to Cornell and started Wittenburg before turning back for the day. I highly suggest Indian Head in the Catskills, a little bit of different types of scenery, coves, streams and scrambling throughout. Looking ahead to completing the entire Devil's Path hike sometime soon, great Vids!
Good video. I hiked it on Nov 2nd. It was a pretty good Hike. I hiked it early, hitting the trail at about 8:30am and didn't encounter another human till the descent! It was a little training exercise for my upcoming trip to Algonquin Peak in ADK in Feb.
Slide mountain is one of my favorite places on the planet, right along with Mt. Marcy in the Adirondacks. I first climbed them both as a kid waaaay back in the 1960s and '70s, and still return there from time to time. After hiking Slide, I suggest people check out nearby Claryville (about 12 miles away) where they can find a nice meal at the Blue Hill Café and get a look at the picturesque Halls Mill Covered bridge a few miles southwest of the village. Thanks for your excellent commentary on this beautiful place.
You have quite the history with this place! And good post-hike suggestion, I'll have to check out Claryville for myself ;) Glad you enjoyed the video!
I moved to Colorado from Texas. I have been lucky to have been healthy enough to have hiked up to Colorado's highest peak, Mt. Elbert.It is 14,443 feet high!!! I probably gained approximately 3,000 feet in elevation. Believe me, it wasn't easy!! :-)
sounds quite epic indeed! i'll have to check out this Mt.Elbert if I ever gallivant in Colorado
Slide Mountain Trail was really nice but a bear to get up.
Which Slide Mountain is this? The one in Oregon? There are a lot of Slide Mountains.
The Catskills are in New York.
You sure are one whimsical and eccentric specimen. . .
Wtf?
I want to go but I'm afraid of ticks
Slide Mountain is a "Rain Forest"
Ironically enough, the Catskills through the months of March-early July receive the most inches of rain in New York State. Also as a resident of the area around the foothills of the Catskill mountains, I can say it rains at least once a day or every other day until maybe mid July.
Thanks for making this video. A bit of advice for making them even better: fewer big words, maybe less speaking overall, and read in a slow, relaxed tone. We wandered to your nice vid to find escape; slow, calming quiet narration will gain you all the additional viewers who are searching for that. Thanks again!
Thanks for the insight! Always appreciate constructive criticism and feedback - I will keep this in mind for next time :) Thanks for watching!
Yes, less speaking would be great.
I liked the narrative. It was different from most other videos. Extra points for creativity!
Nice vocabulary nerd! What do u carry a thesaurus on the trail?! Just kidding. Great video may do slide this fall.
Easy hard ? Is this a hike for the out of shape fat guy? How long did it take you ?
Hey again, Harry - I'd say this hike were moderately strenuous due to the continuous uphill to the top. The hike is about 7 miles and will take you 4.5+ hours to finish, depending on your physical fitness. Find more info on this hike here: www.nynjtc.org/hike/slide-mountain-highest-peak-catskills-loop
