Cat Mountain
About
Cat Mountain is a summit in New York, about 2.8 miles from the village of Bolton Landing. It sits at 1,953 feet, and several trails start close by, so it works as a destination for a short outing or a longer day on foot. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Glens Falls Farm show September highs around 74°F with lows near 46°F, and May highs around 71°F. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. The Cat Mountain Blue Trail and the Richard Hayes Phillips Trail both lie about 0.3 miles away, and the Cat Mountain Red Trail is about 0.9 miles off. For time on the water, The Sagamore is about 3.2 miles away.
