Pound Mountain
About
Pound Mountain is a summit in New York, about 2.2 miles from the town of Sloatsburg. It sits close to a cluster of hiking trails, which makes it a natural target for anyone exploring the area on foot. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Wanaque, New Jersey, show highs around 71°F in May and 76°F in September. That station sits well below the mountain, so expect temperatures up high to run a bit cooler. The closest trails are the Kakiat Trail, about 0.6 mile away, and the Ramapo Dunderberg Trail and Triangle Trail, each about 0.8 mile off. Climbers can find the Swamp Boulder area roughly 2.9 miles away.
