Eastern Catskill Mountains
Continuing my exploration of terrain using digital elevation models, today we look at the Catskill Escarpment and the Hudson River.
Long Path Intersections with Roads
One of the challenges is to find places where the Long Path leaves the public roads. Using OpenStreetMap data I created a line intersection of the Long Path against public roads, then with some hand editing made sure only to include off-road trail sections when they meet public roads. Then I ran it against the state's reverse geocoding service to add street addresses so you can use it with your phone or car GPS.
Devil’s Path Hiking Trail
The Devil's Path is a hiking trail in the Greene County section of the Catskill Mountains, sometimes described as one of the more challenging trails. It extends 24.2 miles, gaining 9,000 feet over seven peaks, a low of 2,220 ft at Stoney Clove Notch between Hunter and Plateau Mountains and a high of 3,800 feet on West Kill Mountain.
