Church Hill
About
Church Hill is a summit in New York, about 1.5 miles from the town of Catskill. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. A nearby weather station records typical September highs around 75°F with lows in the mid-50s, and May is similar at about 74°F. That station sits several hundred feet lower, so the hilltop can run a little cooler. The Hudson Valley Greenway Trail (Olana to Hudson) passes just 0.2 miles away, and the Hudson River Skywalk is about 0.4 miles off. Climbers can head to Cedar Park Cemetery, roughly 3.3 miles away, and paddlers to the Hudson River Greenway Water Trail, about 8 miles out.
