Hello i am looking for a good 18-24 mile hike,for the second week of NOV. I have maps for the entire park along with a guide.We have a small group of 4, very experienced hikers/climbers. My only concern is the availabilty of water sources. We have no problem deviating from the trail to obtain water.I have not hiked the Catskills, (have done the Daks), so any beta would be appreciated.
Thanks
Wen

Re: Good 18-24 Mile Hike
Hey, The Catskills abound in plenty of great water sources. The rains that we receive this time of year always replenish the seasonal springs and small rivulets/tributaries that run along side of most trails in the park, so finding water will not be difficult.
As far as an 18-24 mile trail goes, you have a few options...
The Devils Path
The Escarpment Trail
The Dry Brook Ridge Trail
Personally I would hike either the Devils Path, or The Escarpment Trail. The Dry Brook Ridge is nice, but does not afford as many views as the Escarpment, or Devils Path. I would mess around on google and pull up beta for these trails to help you and your party decide which will be the best.
