Hiker lost on Kaaterskill High Peak (Sept 8)

Unread post by dave »

Town of Hunter in Greene County

Wilderness Search: On Sept. 8 at 5 p.m., Forest Rangers Fox and Seeley responded to a call for a hiker who got lost descending Kaaterskill High Peak. Ranger Lieutenant Breigle made phone contact with the subject and determined he was on a snowmobile trail. Rangers located the hiker and led him out of the woods. Resources were clear at 7:26 p.m

It should be noted that the Snowmobile Trail has become severely overgrown, and hikers are getting lost on it. Years ago, it was the preferred route to KHP because it went around the wet swampy area on the north side of the Long Path.
