Presented by the Scouts of Pack 60, Shandaken, NY, BSA Mount Tremper Situated in the southeastern tip of the Town of Shandaken, Mount Tremper was in a valley through which settlers, turnpikes and roads would first pass on the way west. Fort Shandaken, built about the time of the Revolutionary War for the protection of Kingston against Indian raids, was located in Mount Tremper. First settled by the Winnes, Hudlers, Longyears and Satterlees, the village was known as Ladew Corners (The Corners) and was finally named Mt. Tremper in 1909. The best entrance is near the parking coordinates listed. Look for a trail as I would advise against bushwhacking. The trail is much easier. Enjoy your visit to the area and enjoy the cache! Congrats to ARKVILLE for being the first to complete the challenge!
