We are teaming up with Adventure Untamed for this special day hike.

Slide, the tallest mountain in the Catskill Mountains, is located in the region’s most popular wilderness area. This hike has a little bit of everything — bubbling brooks, historic trails, and spectacular views.   This is an excellent adventure for hikers looking for a gentler introduction to the Catskill tall peaks.
