As seen walking back to the truck along the Long Path, through the Clear Cut.

From up above on the South Mountain Road.

There are some nice views of the Schoharie Valley due to the recent logging. These views will probably be gone within 2-3 years.

That's one of the peaks outside of Catskill Park that's privately owned, but quite noticeable.

This sign is seen driving up County Route 23A when it becomes the DEC Truck Trail over South Mountain. It's only recent that the state has allowed seasonal use highways to be closed on November 1st, but I'm sure from the sign they want to make it clear that people should not be driving up this steep road when its covered with ice or snow.

It's too bad that the sun wasn't good for this picture. One of these days, I'll get up there in the morning and get some better pictures of the mountains.

This portion of the truck trail over South Mountain, as it starts to descend into the Schoharie Valley is quite steep. You can see part of the vast expanse that has recently been logged.
