Ashland Pinnacle State Forest 📍

Down into the Schoharie Valley as I hiked up it, searching for the intersection of the Long Path.

Both side of the South Mountain Range have recently been logged, providing views that are accessible via well established haul roads. These are quite popular for tourists who normally do not hike, escorted by locals, to get good views of the Northern Catskill Mountain Ranges. It's totally flat, 1/4 mile walk from the South Mountain Truck Trail.

In the distance can be seen Windham High Peak, the Peaks of Devils Clove, including Sugar Loaf and Indian Head.

The range is pretty flat here, and open meadow. This section probably was logged last year, and within a year will be grown all over again.

At least that's what I think I am looking at. It's a bit confusing with all those peaks jumbled up there, looking south east from South Mountain.
