Devil’s Path in Greene County, New York

Devil’s Path includes a total distance climbed of 9,000 feet, with peaks over 3,880 feet. This trail is almost 25 miles long and is considered the most difficult trail in the Eastern part of the United States. It’s known for its extremely acute hills and large amounts of rocky land and high cliffs.

This trail not only consists of one challenging peak to reach, but a total of 35! The peaks are known as Catskill High Peaks. Some of these peaks have very large gaps in between them, which can make it a long and difficult journey for hikers trying to get from one point to the next.
