Overlook Mountain — Local services in Town of Cairo

I was born an raised in Mt Tremper. This was my favorite hike growing up. The views are phenomenal. Every time I get back to NY to visit family this hike is on the list. This is a wonderful place to hike alone, with friends, and family. Make sure to wear proper hiking gear so you don't get hurt. This hike will give you a workout but it is worth every minute. It is about 2.5 miles long. As others have mentioned by others be careful of snakes. There are hotel ruins on the way to the top that you can get some photos of as well. I hope you enjoy this mountain as much as I have been able to...

Absolutely breathtaking 😍 This might be my favorite hike on the east coast. It was steep right from the start and steep the entire time. The hike was about 5 miles round trip and takes it about 2-4 hours depending on your pace. The views at the top were incredible. For the best views you’ll need to climb the fire tower which may not be great for people who are afraid of heights. Porta potties are the beginning and at the top. There are also a few picnic benches...

Beautiful scenery, great trail with areas that are more "natural" and areas which are more open-- you can navigate rocks and trees or go jogging. Lovely birds are out and about. The Hotel ruins are awesome to explore. Great place to bring kids or spend a day, but if you're taking kids or have been out and about, make sure you bring water (abd snacks). Love getting to the top and seeing the views, taking in the scenery, maybe...
