Catskill Highest Hundred

Created, compiled and researched by Mark Schaefer
Acme Maps by Tom Rankin

Part of the allure and charm of hiking in the Catskills is that much of the park has no trails and is still in a "wild" state. Hiking the hills and valleys which must be bushwhacked is a thrill some cannot resist. The freedom that this allows is exhilarating. As long as private property rights are observed and hikers have a respect for the natural environment all is well.

Some people like to hike to complete lists and find this an added motivation. Many people have completed the Catskill 35 list and the Winter 35 list. For those people looking around for a new challenge, Mark Schaefer has created a list of the hundred highest peaks in the Catskills. The list actually has 102 peaks listed since there are some ties near the end.

Private land issues: Two of the 3500 summits (Graham and Doubletop) and many of the summits below 3500 are either privately owned, or have approaches that are. Unless there is an conservation easement (e.g. the Roundtop near Bearpen) permission to hike on private lands should be obtained.

Criteria for the LIST    All 100 peaks on one Google Map    Working with ACME Maps    Checklists: Excel PDF

Key to the code which follows the rank and elevation:

T = maintained Trail
S = Ski trail
R = Rough road
U = Unmaintained trail, no canister, e.g. Eagle's summit is a short walk on the Sids Notch path
C = Canister and no trail (paths may have formed)
B = Bushwhack with no canister (some are short whacks, e.g. Dry Brook Ridge and Burnt Knob)
