New York Time article on the Devil's Path in the Catskills

[Mark Schaefer]

A good article (published Sept 25, 2009) on the Devil's Path can be viewed online with a photo slide show 2 Days, 3 Nights, on a Path Named for a Devil.

At the end of the second online page are links to a couple of websites maintained by members of VFTT:

• adkhighpeaks.com maintained by mavs00 and Neil

Great article Mark, thanks for posting it..

My map revealed Mink Hollow, the path’s final valley.

?? Wouldn't this be spruceton valley, where the western terminus is, nestled between the DP/North Dome/Sherrill and the CHH peaks of Evergreen/Pack Saddle/Pine Island, continued with Rusk, East Rusk, Hunter..?


I wonder how they liked St. Anne's Peak?

There is a Mink Hollow over that way, and of course the other Mink Hollow comes up to the Devil's Path between Plateau and Sugarloaf.

These are the three guys that we hiked with a little while when we did the DP in a day earlier this summer. The author is the "Gear Junkie" that I mentioned back when I did my trip report. I chatted with them for quite a while. The writer lives out in Minnesota, and his friends are regular hikers in the NE. They were not familiar with VFTT. Funny to see his story finally make the paper.

Bummer...we didn't even get a mention
