Devil’s Path, New York, USA (8/1-8/2/26)

Devil’s Path — End to End (8/1-8/2/26). I previously attempted to hike the Devil’s Path over two days at the end of June, but my friend couldn’t continue after the first day. So, I returned for a solo revenge hike.

Dead on the Devil’s Path (6/27/26)

I took this picture of my friend on Sugarloaf Mountain in the Catskills. We planned to hike the entire Devil’s Path. However, my friend was unable to continue after the first day.

Indian Head, Twin, Sugarloaf, & Plateau, New York, USA (6/27/26)

  1. ⁠Indian Head Mountain📍
  2. ⁠Indian Head Mountain📍
  3. ⁠Twin Mountain📍
  4. ⁠Sugarloaf Mountain📍
  5. ⁠Sugarloaf Mountain📍
  6. ⁠Plateau Mountain📍
  7. ⁠Plateau Mountain📍

- This is one half of the Devil’s Path. My friend & I had planned to do the whole trail with a layover at Devil’s Tombstone. However, my friend was unable to continue on after the first day.

- According to my phone, I hiked/walked ~17.5mi & ~40,000 steps on this day. However, some of that can be attributed to packing up my car in the morning & walking around Devil’s Tombstone Campground at night.

- We started our hike at the trailhead on Prediger Road just after 9am & reached Route 214 at 7:40pm.

- If you are hiking the Devil’s Path from the trailhead on Prediger Road (as we did), you will need to summit 3 peaks - Indian Head, Twin, & Sugarloaf - before you reach a spring/legitimate water source. I was fine, but my friend almost ran out of water.

- There is a creek (Schoharie Creek) ~0.25mi off of the Devil’s Path at the Jimmy Dolan Notch, but I didn’t stop to inspect the quality of the water.

Pico, Killington, & Shrewsbury, Vermont, USA (6/13-6/14/26)

  1. Pico Peak (6/13/26) 📍
  2. Killington Peak (6/13/26) 📍
  3. Killington Peak (6/13/26) 📍
  4. Shrewsbury Peak (6/13/26) 📍
  5. Shrewsbury Peak (6/14/26) 📍
  6. Killington Peak (6/14/26) 📍
  7. Killington Peak (6/14/26) 📍
  8. Pico Peak (6/14/26) 📍
  9. Pico Peak (6/14/26) 📍
  10. Pico Peak (6/14/26) 📍

 

  • My route (out & back the same way): Sherburne Pass Trailhead > Sherburne Pass Trail > Pico Link > Pico Peak > Pico Link > Sherburne Pass Trail > Appalachian Trail > Killington Peak > Appalachian Trail > Shrewsbury Peak Trail > Shrewsbury Peak > Shrewsbury Peak Trail > Russell Hill Shelter.
  • According to my phone, I hiked 13.8 miles & climbed 309 flights on Saturday (6/13) and hiked 13.2 miles & climbed 296 flights on Sunday (6/14).  The distance tracking on my phone is usually pretty reliable. However, I’ve found the elevation tracking less reliable. So, take those numbers with a grain of salt.
  • On Saturday (6/13), I started at the Sherburne Pass Trailhead ~8:45am & ended at the Russell Hill Shelter ~3:30pm. On Sunday (6/14), I started at the Russell Hill Shelter ~8:15am & ended at the Sherburne Pass Trailhead ~2:30pm.
  • There were no obvious tent sites near Russell Hill Shelter, so I ended up pitching my tent in the flattest spot that I could find nearby. It was sufficient, but I was in the bushes & right next to the trail, so it wasn’t ideal.
  • The lodge at the summit of Killington Peak was unfortunately closed. That was disappointing, as I had hoped to stop there on both days for food & a real bathroom.
  • I saw a bunch of other hikers on the trails to Pico & Killington. However, once I turned off of the Appalachian Trail (onto the Shrewsbury Peak Trail), the trails were desolate. The Shrewsbury Peak Trail was also fairly overgrown, so I’m assuming that it doesn’t get much use.
  • The bugs were pretty bad. I got mauled at the summit of Pico Peak & while setting up my tent. As a result, I spent most of Saturday night hanging out inside my tent.
  • There was a shelter at the summit of Pico Peak that was labeled, “Hiker’s Warming Hut”. I didn’t inspect it past a quick glance, but that’s a quite a treat if you’re hiking here during the winter months.
