Leonard Hill

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.

Red Dirt Road

This is the spur off the main DEC Road up and over South Mountain. It leads part of the way up Richmond Mountain before it peters out to a logging road. Notice how the DEC has clear cut this area.
