This is about an 8-mile hike at a moderate pace to North Point, then Stoppel Point (3,420 ft), one of the Catskills 67 highest. We’ll meet at the Scutt Road parking lot, cross the road to head over to the Rock Shelter Trail (yellow) for 1.3 miles. At the junction, we’ll turn left and follow the Mary Glen Trail for 0.8 miles for the Escarpment trail (blue) where we’ll take all the way to North Point and then on to Stoppel Point with a couple of steep ascents. We’ll break for snacks/lunch at the viewpoints. If we have time, we’ll hike the additional half a mile to a plane crash site.
