Catskill 100 Public Peaks: Where Are the Maps

The CHH list includes all of the Catskill 35's plus other peaks most of which are over 3000 feet. All of the Catskill 35 peaks are now on public land since Graham and Doubletop have been closed by the Gould family. Most of the Catskill 35's also have trails to the summit. Some have defined paths (Kaaterskill). Other peaks require bushwhacking. Many of the other peaks CHH peaks are on private land and many do not have trails or paths. To hike any of the peaks on private property hikers must obtain permission from the owner! Without getting permission from the owner of the property, you are trespassing on private land. Trespassing could put you in legal trouble and will make it harder for other hikers to get permission from the owner.

Many of the hikers who are working on the CHH list post on several different forums and Facebook pages. There at least three schools of thought about publishing maps for the bushwhack peaks.

My personal opinion lies with the first group but a majority of the hikers I have contacted would prefer that maps not be posted. I will, for now, respect the opinion of the majority. If you want information about the CHH peaks, e-mail me for information. I will share what I have discovered.
