Doubletop Mountain Hike

[Jennifer Dresdow]

We are going to be offering a Doubletop Hiking day here. Likely in April. I'll post a link to sign up when I confirm a date. Will be a free event, but you'll need to check in and show ID. It is a herd path/bushwack. For those looking to add this to their 3500 list, I hope to offer a spring and fall date each year.

Very interesting and very cool. I completed the 3500 Club peaks many years back and was disappointed for current aspirants when I saw that Doubletop and Graham were now off-limits. Happy to see the development of a solution like this.

I assume you mean Doubletop in the Catskills? I assume a day of access, not a group hike, correct?

Would setup and cleanup volunteers be useful? If you marked non-obvious parts of the herd path (for example plastic tape) cleanup might be limited to a smaller area. As property owners your choice, but whatever allows you to do this again.

This Doubletop opportunity reminds me of Mount Croydon, Sullivan County’s high point in NH. Croydon lies within a private game reserve, Corbin Park, with a tall, 35-mile-long, chain link, perimeter fence to make Irish elk and Russian boar available for hunting by the 31 landowners. The Blue Mountain Forest Association that manages the reserve opens the main gate to escort a group trip or two to the trailhead during July and August for a $50 fee per individual. As co-organizer for the 2005 High Pointers Konvention at Purity Spring Resort (King Pine ski area) in late summer 2005, I helped arrange access for a group of 17 avid state high pointers, which allowed several to complete the 10 county high points in NH.
