Catskills 3500: Balsam and Eagle Mountains


May 30, 2014 

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.
