Tremper Mountain Fire Tower
Join our outdoor leaders, Bill and Todd, for the fourth installment of our Catskills Fire Tower Series.
This hike is comprised of a 5.8-mile out-and-back up a scenic forested mountainside with a 2,000ft ascent including several switch-backs. After the long climb is complete you'll be rewarded with an awe inspiring 360 degree view of the Catskills.
Initiated in 2019 and organized by the DEC, the Catskills Fire Tower Challenge rewards hikers for visiting all six of the Catskill fire towers in one calendar year. Complete the challenge with us and get the commemorative patch! Check out the challenge rules here. Missed hiking a tower with us? Worry not! There will be multiple opportunities to hike each tower in 2024.
