Windham High Peak

Windham High Peak is a mountain located in Greene County, New York. The mountain is part of the Catskill Mountains.

Windham High Peak stands within the watershed of the Hudson River, which drains into New York Bay. The south and northwest sides of Windham drain into Batavia Kill, and thence into Schoharie Creek, the Mohawk River, and the Hudson River. The northeast side of Windham drains into Bowery Creek, thence into Catskill Creek, and the Hudson River.

Windham High Peak is within New York’s Catskill Park. The Long Path, a 350-mile (560 km) long-distance hiking trail from New York City to Albany, is contiguous with the Escarpment Trail.

 Catskill Mountains from CR 351 and Johnny Cake Road

Driving down through Westerlo on NY 143 I was looking at the Northern Catskills and thinking how much I truly miss that view, one I saw through most of my youth going to school. I really like the the wild country of Westerlo and Rensslearville, although there is more wild country even further out.
