Mary's Glen Trail is an easy hike of about 1.3 miles with a total elevation gain of 549 feet, rising from 2,174 feet to 2,741 feet on a point-to-point route. It lies within the Border Katerskill / Ns Lake Camp unit, managed by the State Department of Conservation, in New York. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical July averages at a nearby weather station run to highs around 77°F and lows near 54°F, and the trail's higher elevation runs cooler than that station. Winter is cold, with January highs around 31°F and lows near 11°F. The hike takes about half an hour, and the trailhead makes a good base for linking up with other outings. Rock Shelter Trail is just 0.4 miles away, and Winter Clove Falls and Rip's Ledge trails are each about a mile off. Climbers can find the Catskills area roughly 2.1 miles away.
