Overlook Mountain

Overlook Mountain is the southernmost peak of the Catskill Escarpment in the central Catskill Mountains near Woodstock, New York. Centerpiece of the 590-acre (239 ha) Overlook Mountain Wild Forest area of Catskill Park, the mountain is the site of one of the remaining five Catskill Mountain fire towers and the Overlook Mountain House, a hotel which was built at a higher elevation than any other in the range.

Keep Privy Door Closed

|

On Hunter Mountain, they want to keep the outhouse door closed to keep the raccoons out. This keeps them from eating holes where your supposed to be sitting.

Tower Back Lit

Hiking down the Overlook Mountain Trail, I happened upon the fire tower with the sun right behind it, creating an interesting backlighting of the tower.
