Catskill High Peaks 3500 Club
#7 Cornell - 3857 Feet

The center peak in the Burroughs Range, Cornell’s summit lies just off the Wittenberg-Cornell-Slide Trail. A rock scramble just east of the summit called The Cornell Crack is one of the more difficult scrambles in the Catskills and can be treacherous in winter conditions. Check out the view from atop the Cornell Crack as well as excellent north-facing views along the trail, a short distance west of the summit.

The Catskill Mountains 3500 series features some of the 33 highest peaks on public lands in the Catskill Mountains.  These caches are all located on the public property of the Union Transportation trail.  Hours are Sunrise to Sunset. As the trail passes very close to private property, please stay on the trail.
