We hiked along this splendid escarpment in the Catskills back in
October, 2007 when we were following
Hike #1 ("Inspiration Point and Hudson River Valley Lookout") from the book
Catskill Day Hikes For All Seasons (November 2002). Today we repeated the hike but also added a small loop in the area where the
Kaaterskill Hotel used to be. There we visited a small pond by the remains of a large cistern where we saw salamanders and catfish.
This was the third of seven hikes we did in the Catskills during a five-day stay in Woodstock, New York.
Total distance hiked was 5.4 miles in 3 hours and 45 minutes.
