| Asma had arrived on Thursady and gone part way up the trail just across the street from the KTD to the Overlook Mountain Fire Tower. I didn't find anyone who was inspired to do the trail so I went up after lunch on Sunday. It seems to be quite popular as the parking area was pretty large and pretty full. You can see a map of the trail or the the map my Droid made on the way down with 1,322 feet of elevation. The trail was quite wide, practically a road. There was also the ruins of a hotel first built in 1833 with the fourth incarnation started in 1928 but never finished. You can read more about its history. |

| The view from the fire tower was quite impressive. I want to come back in the spring and fall, though, when the colors will be more interesting. |

| The fire tower (above) was taller than the one on Hadley Mountain. Overlook mountain is now part of the Catskills and they had a sign shown here noting that you can not camp within 100 feet of a road, trail, or water (but you can camp freely anywhere else there). Cool! |

| There was also a nice overlook which had a great view (seemed much nicer, perhaps because there weren't the strong (cold) winds. For the last bit of the hike (after the hotel) I had hiked with these two women and their dog (they left the hotel about the same time I did). |
