Reaching Berlin Mountain is a straightforward hike along an old roadbed. I added Mount Raimer to this hike, tacking it on at the beginning. I started from Petersburg Pass and headed south along the Taconic Crest Trail, keeping left at the first road junction and ascending to Mount Raimer. This old roadbed met up with another that led to the summit. I backtracked and bumped into the Taconic Crest Trail, which led south to the summit of Berlin Mountain. The views were meh and the hike not particularly interesting.

Just past the trailhead. Left leads along the ridge crest to Mount Raimer. Right leads to Berlin Mountain. I ascended on the left, and returned later from the right.

Pretty ferns and fog, but the trail isn't particularly interesting.

Along the Taconic Crest Trail, skipping Mount Raimer on the way back. This was a short, steep section.
