Raccoon Brook Hill

New York

About

Raccoon Brook Hill is a summit in New York, about 2.9 miles from the town of Montebello. Early fall tends to be the most comfortable time to visit: typical averages from a nearby weather station run around 76°F highs and 56°F lows in September, cooling to about 64°F and 43°F in October. That station sits roughly 900 feet lower than the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. Several outings start close by. Torne Valley Road is less than half a mile away, Diamond Mtn Tower is about 0.7 miles off, and Reeves Brook Trail is roughly a mile away. Climbers can find the Radical Books climbing area about 2 miles from the summit.
