About Hogencamp Mountain
Hogencamp Mountain is a summit in New York, about 2.6 miles from the town of Tuxedo. Several short trails meet nearby, so it works as a destination on a longer walk built from the surrounding paths. September is one of the more comfortable months, with typical highs around 76°F and lows near 57°F, while October cools to highs near 63°F. These are typical averages from a weather station at West Point, about 12.8 miles away and roughly 1,000 feet lower, so temperatures on the summit run cooler. The Lichen Trail lies about 0.3 miles away, with the Dunning Trail at 0.5 miles and Surebridge Mine Road at 0.6 miles. Climbers can find the Harriman State Park climbing area about 2 miles off.
