About Panther Mountain
Panther Mountain is a summit in New York, about 4.5 miles from the town of Phoenicia. It rises to 3,724 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical July averages from a nearby weather station run to highs around 74°F and lows near 56°F, and the summit sits higher than that station, so expect it to run cooler. The closest trails are the Metta Trail, about 1.5 miles away, and the Giant Ledge - Panther - Fox Hollow Trail, about 1.9 miles off. A primitive campsite lies about 4.5 miles away, and climbers can head to Phoenicia, Sportsman's Wall, about 5 miles out.
