Balsam Mountain: 3609 Feet
Eagle Mountain: 3609 Feet
Distance 9.2 Miles Round Trip
Elevation Gain: 2200+
Clockwise (Red, Yellow, Blue) to Balsam
Out and Back (Blue) to Eagle, then Red back to Rider Hollow Road parking area
Straight up, just like every trail I've hiked in the Catskills.
Summit of Balsam Mountain
Summit of Eagle Mountain
Comments: There is no view from the summit of Eagle Mountain, but there is a side trail that will lead you to a spot with Cairns.
Hiking the Red Trail counter clockwise will put the stream crossings at the end of your hike.
