Entering the very popular area.

Lookout spot.

Kaaterskill Falls lookout platform.


Onward to South Mountain.

Boring trail for a while to reach the base of South Mountain. Eventually I met a junction, keeping left and heading up to South Mountain.

The road fades into a trail as it wraps around South Mountain's summit area.

A nice little pond near the summit.

Wrapping around the pond.

An old well.

Old Kaaterskill Hotel ruins. Apparently there are lots more, but I didn't want to get ticks. Maybe it would be better to visit this area in winter.

Onward toward Inspiration Point.

The trail was much more interesting.

Some nice view points along the way.

View back at Inspiration Point.

I continued along the trail and turned right at an eventual junction, completing the loop.
