Ashland Pinnacle State Forest 📍

This portion of the Long Path was a little easier to follow, due to be along the log haul road, but there still was relatively few markers. Just past here, I turned back, as it was too difficult to follow, and it was getting late, having spent so much time looking for the trail.

You can see the fire tower on Leonard Hill from this range. I hope some day they open that tower up, because I'm sure it has some great views of the Catskills.

Ashland Pinnacle is to the extreme right, with the East Jewett Range in the foreground, and Evergreen, Rusk, Hunter behind it.

It's hiding out behind Ashland Pinacle in the foreground.

You can see where they have clear cut this section, just above the hairpin turn. They took the wood they wanted, and left a lot of logging trash for critters to live in until a new forest grows on up.
