Indian Chair Run to the Palenville Overlook

It's all up

With some obstacles

It's all worth it though

Palenville

Kaaterskill High Peak

Enjoying the views

This is the last of a series of runs.  Everyone of them are low-key, tough, but fun runs.

The first run goes up the steepest 2 miles of road in New York State, Platte Clove Road.  The second run in the series at Olana State Park is 10k of carriage trails with 2 long climbs in there.

Today's climb is a combo of the previous two.  It's all uphill like Platte Clove, but it's all trail like Olana.  The trail ascends over 1,000 feet and the footing is at times like a typical trail in the Catskills: lots of rocks.  For the most part I took it easy, since I was not in any kind of shape to run up the entire way.  With the dry, sunny weather we experienced, the views were outstanding.  Most certainly, one of the great spots in the Catskills.
