West Kill Mountain reaches an impressive 3,880 feet at its summit, making it number six in the list of tallest Catskill 3500-ers.
Although the summit does not have a spectacular view, hikers can see from the trail views of the Blackhead Range, the central high peaks, the Shawangunks, and the Hudson River. Several viewpoints, including Buck Ridge Lookout, just east of the summit, offer these vistas.
Westkill Mountain is along the 25-mile Devil’s Path at its westernmost point, and is considered the easiest peak along this trail.
The approaches to Westkill's summit are accessible via the Devil’s Path Trailhead as well as the Diamond Notch Trailheads.
