Trail notes from Plateau Mountain, part of the Catskill 3500 challenge.
permalink nebrivTrail notes recorded post hike, added here in their fairly raw state.
Brutal initial climb.

Great views up top, pretty much made up for it. Amazing 60 degree day. A little chilly up top. A buncha friendly backpackers were coming down as I was headed up. One guy going to Banff and doing some of the JMT in Colorado?

It smelt like a candle shop, it’s always so awesome!

The top of the mountain was meh, nothing really there. A decent little view point. No cannister? Saw another guy trying to do 5k elevation today. Sheesh. That’s a long day. Back down was rough on the knees.
Had a strawberry shortcake ice cream bar. Always a nice treat.
