Great hike, beautiful views on the way up, each trail has its own beauty, I suggest going back more than once and doing all the trails. Park ranger was very knowledgeable, can't wait to go back!
Beautiful summit, it will take you approximately 3 hour to get the summit.there is a camp side on summit.
A good bit of snow left still, but welll packed in most places, snowshoes still nice on the less travelled parts, but not essential... certainly melting soon and turning into a muddy mess!!
A great hike (do both Giant Ledge and Panther - don't skimp out). Quintessential Catskill hike but not particularly aggressive in any area. Multiple views and apparently a nice dusting of snow on 10/26/18. You're also in a 375 Million YO - 6 mile wide impact crater, that the mountain rests over, which adds to the experience.
There are a lot of amazing views in Slide Mountain. If you're willing to pay the price, the mountain will yield spectacular views equal to the challenge of the ascent. Wear proper shoes, take your time, and enjoy the journey.
