From Schenectady, NY
| # | Peak | Date Summitted | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Shelving Rock Mountain | Sep 17, 2017 | Pretty easy hike, the views from the top weren't that great but the trail itself was nice and we did the waterfall the same day |
| #2 | Sleeping Beauty | Sep 17, 2017 | Definitely one of my favorites. I actually went back and did this one twice |
| #3 | Kane Mountain | Oct 13, 2017 | This was probably the easiest hike on this list. Very short, very easy and a very tall fire tower. There was a lot of garbage on this one which is upsetting |
| #4 | Thomas Mountain | Oct 28, 2018 | Did this and Kat on the same day. I really enjoyed the cabin which is apparently not there anymore |
| #5 | Stillwater Mountain | Aug 31, 2019 | Can't really see anything unless you climb the fire tower but it was an easy hike even if it was in the middle of nowhere |
| #6 | Bald (Rondaxe) Mountain | Aug 31, 2019 | Did this hike at night. They did a lighting of the fire towers and we could see Woodhull and Stillwater fire towers lit up from it. Probably my favorite hike |
| #7 | Black Bear Mountain | Aug 31, 2019 | There was one section that was a little scary, we had to use tree roots to get to the next spot up but the view was beautiful and we went down the easy side. |
| #8 | Rocky Mountain | Sep 01, 2019 | Very short hike and very steep but had a gorgeous view. |
| #9 | Good Luck Cliffs | Oct 20, 2019 | There were at least 2 pretty spots for pictures at the top and a few places for rock climbing if you're into that. If you aren't paying attention, it's very easy to miss the turn to go up to the peak, you could very easily keep following the snowmobile trail. |
| #10 | Spring Overlook | Mar 14, 2020 | This trail was very confusing and got lost multiple times. I did not enjoy this one, it needs to be marked better |
| #11 | Hackensack Mountain | Mar 28, 2020 | We didn't see any other people on this hike. We got a little nervous on top because someone had abandoned their tent that was destroyed. There was a lot of garbage on this hike, not sure if it's because it's so close to town |
| #12 | Pilot Knob Ridge | Mar 28, 2020 | We went beyond to the waterfall and absolutely loved it! Beautiful hike! |
| #13 | The Pinnacle | Mar 28, 2020 | There were so many people on this hike it was difficult to enjoy it |
| #14 | Kipp Mountain | Apr 12, 2020 | My favorite hike of the day. We hiked through a tree farm. It was a little steep but well work the hike up |
| #15 | Severance Hill | Apr 12, 2020 | This one has some creepy tunnels you had to get through, there was still some ice inside them |
| #16 | Stewart Mountain | Apr 12, 2020 | Pretty easy hike. This one was a little hard to enjoy at the top because a woman was on her cell phone loudly talking about how other people were bothering her. You're on a hike, get off your phone lady |
| #17 | Watch Hill | Apr 18, 2020 | This hike had some pretty awesome views of Snowy mountain, I really liked this trail |
| #18 | Castle Rock | Apr 25, 2020 | A little steep at the top but this was probably by favorite junior hike. It's beautiful and well worth the steepness and slight ice at the top |
| #19 | Sawyer Mountain | Apr 25, 2020 | Pretty easy, there wasn't that great of a view on top |
| #20 | Echo Cliffs | May 02, 2020 | Fairly steep hike but beautiful views. The signs indicating the length need to be updated, this hike was way longer than indicated on the signs |
| #21 | Mt. Arab | May 16, 2020 | Really only did this one to get the triad and firetower |
| #22 | Goodman Mountain | May 16, 2020 | This was kind of an odd hike, I don't think I've ever seen a hike that was paved like this one was, a little steep at the top but overall a nice hike |
| #23 | Coney Mountain | May 16, 2020 | I did 5 hikes this day and this one was by far my absolute favorite. Had 360 views from the top |
| #24 | Cathedral Rock | May 16, 2020 | Pretty much a flat hike until the last .2 miles. There were a lot of bugs and a huge group of 20 people |
| #25 | Bear Mountain | May 16, 2020 | This was the last hike of 5 for the day so I didn't enjoy this one at all. It was pretty steep and there wasn't much to see |
| #26 | Baker Mountain | May 25, 2020 | This was a pretty steep climb and I was disappointed because there wasn't really any view up top. It's so close to town, you would have thought the view would have been better |
| #27 | Mt. Jo | May 25, 2020 | This was very steep and was a pretty technical climb. I wasn't expecting to be rock climbing but the view was amaizing! |
| #28 | Coot Hill | May 29, 2020 | The road leading to this trail is absolutely atrocious. Not only that, but honestly, it's dangerous even with an SUV. There should be warnings about this or cars should not be allowed to drive on it, part of the road is even gone! |
| #29 | Belfry Mountain | May 29, 2020 | Very short hike, there were 2 bee nests underneath the picnic table, we had to run out to get away from them |
