Big Indian Loop

Hi Hikers. Time to hit a nice loop in Oliverea (Catskills) and bag a few peaks: Fir, Big Indian, Eagle, Haynes, Balsam (Mt).

Distance=11.75 miles. Elev Gain: 3300.

Fastish hike. No sweep and you should be able to navigate alone in case the group gets separated.

We'll start at Burnham Hollow Road parking to grab Fir which is an immediate uphill bushwack. Then comes Big Indian, Eagle, Haynes and out and back to Balsam. Descent on Mapledale Trail (red) to McKinley Hollow. Brief road walk back to Burnham Hollow Road.

Hike at your own pace. There is no sweep. Bring ample food and water.
