Walking a Haul Road to South ...

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.
