About This Trail

Imported description

The hike to the "Bearpen" Roundtop mountain is not as strenuous as the one to the Kaaterskill Wild Forest. The summit section of the hike is under-used and may require some bushwhacking. It is important to be aware of your recording to ensure you are on the right track. There is a ledge with nice views just past the summit.
