"Getting BP, Vly and KHP for the month of May of my 4th grid. BP and Vly in the AM where I didn’t see a soul then relocated over to Platte Clove road to do KHP in the afternoon. As expected I met other hikers doing either KHP or Huckleberry Point though they were heading out while I was just heading in. Nice day in the Cats with comfortable temps do to cloud cover causing the sun to play hide and seek and no annoying bugs flying around my head." — Nimblefoot • May 25, 2022

"Great hike and trail was in good shape and dry. Definitely needs more trail markets and pain near the top. I'd recommend poles if you have them...this one is killer on the knees " — Meiners • May 25, 2022

"Loop of Big Indian and Fir from Biscuit Brook TH. P-W trail all the way up then HP to can on Big Indian. Solid herd path between the peaks and back down to the P-W trail. After a quick lunch at the TH I headed over to Denning road to climb up Red Hill via the new trail. I needed the new trail for round 2 of the All Trails challenge and the climb completes the ‘22 DEC Fire tower challenge of 6 towers and round #8 of the Catskill Fire Towers(5). The new trail has a nice easy grade you barely know your climbing up. It weaves through some rock outcrops and appears to be the handiwork of Ed Walsh’s Tahawus trail building crew." — Nimblefoot • May 23, 2022
