Let's Give these Catskills a Try

In an effort to get as much car campin' in as possible before the season's over, we paid a visit to the Catskills this weekend. Found a quiet, but slightly crowded, tent campsite at Woodland Valley. The weather was nice and the mosquitoes were mean.



On Sunday I had it in my head that we would take the trail from the campground up to Panther Mountain. Then we got to the trailhead, saw the mileage, and stared straight up the hill we were about to climb- and decided to go for the closer overlook, Giant Ledge. Hell of a trek up that damn thing, but pretty nice at the top.
