Windham High Peak

Brief trail notes from Windham High Peak, part of the Catskill 3500 challenge.

7.6 mi +2350' gain 4h 21m Mar 2025 map ↗

One of the “easier hikes” for the 3500. Opted for the Black Dome Range trailhead as the other approach via the Escaprment was closed. Out and back to the top, good number of view points along the way made the hike enjoyable. It was still a little snowy, but no spikes or anything needed. Saw two other people on the trail, both with dogs!

I definitely thought it was a bit harder than expected. Kind of got into my head of “oh boy, what did I commit to” with the 3500. Especially as I looked over at the rest of the Black Dome Range clearly visible from Burnt Knob.
