I am looking for good hike in the Catskills. Difficulty is not a concern. I have a 4 day window to fit this hike,but it does not have to be that long. Avoiding the super crowded trails and peaks would be great. I will be carrying a tent, so lean-tos will not be unnecessary.

Thanks!

Try the Escarpment Trail, The Biscuit Brook Trail, or The Devils Path. Biscuit Brook is probably the least populated this time of year, but there are sections of the Escarpment that are also quite remote.

There are a gazillion trails in the Catskills - you should also get the NY-NJ Tail Conference Maps which are excellent.
