Deep notch area by Hunter Mountain


Here is a picture that Karen took as we were on the run scouting Friday of the waterfall on the West Kill. It looks like it is only two inches but you get the idea.

On Tuesday we will start off with a beautiful hike into the Deep Notch area along the West Kill. Our destination is a 15 foot waterfall and cascades along a creek with moss covered stones and newly leafed out vegetation. The trail is a steady slow climb and is less than a mile one way. Water and bug juice are recommended. This is truly a gem of the Catskills and we will probably have it all to ourselves. Kath Kriesher will want to set up her pinhole camera and park here and practice yoga while contemplating peace, for the next month. Make sure you have some bug spray because there are some black flies. I was there Friday May 15th without any bug juice and the bugs were not very bad, I did not however stop to set up a camera and tripod so they had a much more difficult moving target.
