Cornell Mountain (3,860 feet) comes in at number eight on the list of tallest mountains in the Catskills, and is a very popular hike.
Cornell Mountain is located between two other peaks, Wittenberg and Slide, and although it offers spectacular views of both of these mountains, the view from the summit is inferior to what one might find on the others.
These three mountains are close enough together that many hikers choose to summit two of them or even all three in one go. The trail for Cornell, as well as for all three mountains, follows the Burroughs Range Trail, which is also known as the Wittenberg-Cornell-Slide Trail, and extends for 9.75 miles, or 14 miles on a loop hike.
