First Catskills hikeComing from the whites and the dacks, these peaks were no slacks. The views weren't the best, but you can't have it all.

Wet!Climbed it with my wife in cold wet weather. Had planned to do Blackhead as well, but ran out of time. Would have been great views if the weather was better.

Nice views on topThis mountain definitely had better views than either Thomas Cole or Black Head.

Great winter hikeDid the Blackhead range with three friends. Great weather, not too much ice. Microspikes were sufficient (barely, at times), and I was glad we had one ice axe to share between us.

Blackhead-Windham hikeWent over the Blackhead range and Windham with two friends. Had called a taxi to pick us up at the end to drive us back to our car, but it left us stranded! Was thankfully able to get a ride from another hiker.

with Thomas Cole and Black DomeHiked with Thomas Cole and Blackhead via the Black Dome Range trail from Big Hollow road. Descended down the Batavia Kill trail from Blackhead. Overcast day but it was a great first hike in the Catskills for me.

Black DomeClimbed with Blackhead and Thomas Cole via the Black Dome Range Trail from Big Hollow Road. This part of the Black Dome Range Trail is a beautiful hike through open woods leading to exposed ledges with great views.

from Big Hollow RoadHit Black Dome, Thomas Cole and Blackhead from Big Hollow road. Descended Blackhead on N. side via Escarpment Trail - very icy, would have used a rope if I had brought one. Lots of fresh snow, kept snowshoes on all day.

Black Dome & BlackheadAwesome hike - I climbed Blackhead in early 2006 when it was still covered in snow and ice.

part 2 of the dayAfter I went up Blackhead I went on to Black Dome, and then to Thomas Cole. There is a nice viewpoint by the summit. On my way to Thomas Cole I ran into some guys who camped by the summit the night before, and on my back I ran into this group having this philosophical discussion, which was interesting. I just sat there and listened. A lot of talk about the enneagram, which I never heard of.
