Exploring our world one hike and one adventure at a time, together!
We own Hike On Guides, love the outdoors, and work hard to protect and enjoy open spaces. Together since 1997, we’ve spent much of that time in the great outdoors. Today we work, live and play in the Catskills, but over the years, we’ve been all over the northeast US! Moe thru hiked the Appalachian Trail ('16), and has also thru hiked the Long Path, Northville-Placid Trail, and Cohos Trail. Jeff's got some thru-hiking to catch up on, but has thru hiked the Northville Placid Trail and hiked extensively throughout the northeast.
The Hiker Trash Husbands is our effort to provide positive LGBTQ+ representation in the hiking world. We look forward to showcasing our own hiking adventures as gay hikers, along with finding other queer outdoors folks to highlight and celebrate.

Hiking the lost logging railroad of the Catskills - Southwest Hunter via the Fenwick Railroad Grade
Southwest Hunter, often referred to as Leavitt Peak, is one of the Catskill 3500 peaks. It stands at an elevation of 3,740 feet. Unlike nearby Hunter Mountain, which is the second-highest in the Catskills, Southwest Hunter is much less frequently visited. The peak is densely forested, offering no views compared to Hunter Mountain next door with its many views and Fire Tower.
Reaching Southwest Hunter requires a bit of navigation, as there is no official trail to the summit. The typical route is via the Devil’s Path and then an unmarked but well-known and easy to follow herd path to the top.
For our trip we began in Lanesville, on the southern side of Stony Clove Notch and climbed up Myrtle Creek to the ruins of the old Fenwick Lumber Company mill. From there we followed the former cable railroad grade from the mill, to the notch between Southwest Hunter and Hunter Mountain, where the Devil's Acre Lean-to now sits and where the old Fenwick Lumber Camp used to be. From Devil's Acre Lean-to we followed the Devil's Path to the herd path to the summit of Southwest Hunter. On the return we hiked down the Devil's Path to Stony Clove Notch and then down Route 214 to our vehicles at Notch Inn Road.
The Fenwick Lumber Railroad was a short-lived logging railroad that operated on Hunter Mountain and Southwest Hunter in the early 20th century. It was built to support the Fenwick Lumber Company, which harvested timber in the dense forests of the two mountain tops. The railroad up the Myrtle Brook drainage was used to lower logs from the logging camp in the Devil's Acre area - which was a collection point of small narrow gauge railroads that harvested timber across the two mountains. After being brought down to the mill in Lanesville, the lumber was then loaded on the Ulster and Delaware Railroad that passed through Lanesville and Stony Clove and took the wood south to markets.
Important Hiking Considerations:
1. Weather: Check the weather forecast before your hike and be prepared for changes in conditions.
2. Safety: Some sections of the trail can be steep and rocky, so use caution and watch your footing.
3. Leave No Trace: As with any outdoor activity, remember to follow the principles of Leave No Trace. Pack out any trash, stay on the trail, and be respectful of the natural environment.

Huckleberry Loop in the Catskills, an often overlooked gem of a hike!
Very nice
Thanks!
I’m currently watching this video on the big screen. You guys are always fundraising, here’s a thought, I’m good for $1 if Moe makes a snow angel in the nettles, $5 if it’s fully nude. Also, Barbra looks great but give her some wind pants for those nettles. That fun old structure, it’s wild that was very important to people at one point. Now it’s hidden. So far a great video. I’m enjoying that. Now please make Moe make a nettle angel.
Ha! We’d want a lot more than that for nettle angels!! Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed the rest of the video!
Killer video! I don’t see ABBA anywhere, though!😉
lol! thanks
Thank you for sharing your adventure. My travels on the NPT were in '84 as a teenager and the early 90s. , Now as a 56 y/o out of shape gay man, my hiking and backpacking days are behind me. Your video gave me all the nostalgic feels. I remember many of the places you spotlighted. Wow, Duck Hole is so different without the dam. My two stops there included refreshing "showers" under the overflow of the dam. Thank you for your representation 🏳️🌈. It matters we be seen in all walks of life. Keep hiking and enjoying nature. The ADK is the true gem of New York State.
Oh thank you so much for the wonderful comment and the reminiscing about the NPT! Jeff grew up spending a lot of time up there and did northern half of the NPT with his dad in the late 80s too! You should still get outside and enjoy the outdoors - never say never! We've been through ups and downs with health and life - and always work our way back into the woods, even if we have to start really small before we get back to where we were. We hope you enjoy our other videos just as much!
@HikerTrashHusbands my renewed interest in the ADK (and NPT) comes from a recent weekend trip to the Indian Lake area with my 15 y/o nephew. We rented a cabin in hopes to see an Aurora and the Pleiades meteor shower. My main issue with roughing it is lower back issues. Sleeping on a firm mattress has me walking like a 70 y/o. So I can only imagine what a night on the ground would be like. I have considered a kayak or day hike to Kelly Point (one of my favorite places in the ADK). I love the rock point and the remaining foundations of the old camp. Have ever visited there? I am a co-host of a LGBTQ+ community radio show out of Rochester NY (though I live in Chenago County NY...the power of Zoom). If you are interested in spreading the word about outdoor adventures let me know.
@@gregcooper7396 Moe is much more of the backpacking fan than Jeff and swears by using a hammock to camp - has a whole set up for it. We stopped at Kelly Point when we did our NPT hike, but haven't been back since (Jeff stayed there as a kid too on a Long Lake canoe trip). It is such a nifty place and so beautiful. We'd love to chat sometime about the outdoors and our adventures. You can send us an email at thehikertrashhusbands@gmail.com.
The view from the summit was spectacular!! Thank you for sharing.
We’re glad you enjoyed! Thank you for watching and hope you enjoy our other videos.
A nice hike - my wife and I did it in winter a few year's back. Great introduction to winter hiking.
It would be a fun snowshoe! Will have to remember that.
Hey thanks for the great Video! I am from Europe and it would be my first hike in the US. I want to to it in about 2 weeks. How does it work over there? Do you need a license for staying at the shelters, or can you just go, do you have to book them in advance?
Most of the primitive camp sites and leantos in the northeast US are first come, first serve. In the White Mountains of NH some are reservation based or require payment when you arrive. There are also huts in the White Mountains run by AMC, which require reservations and payment. If you look in our video description there’s a link to the White Mountains guidebook. You should get yourself a copy of that and it will give you all the details on what’s free and first come, first serve and what you have to pay for and get reservations for.
I've only been to Evans Notch once and I also did this short hike. Great area - I really need to visit again.
There are some really great little mountains in that area - the Royces and Caribou are great hikes.
Hey everybody! A good portion of 113 closes for winter, so get up there! We went down that way, too. We were camping at Hastings.
@@beckiejani7782yup, this is all closed up in the winter!
My favorite place
It’s a wonderful spot!
Wow - this area looks AMAZING! You gentleman are so lucky to have this area so accessible to explore! Looks like a beautiful area! Thanks for sharing!
The Whites are really just a magical place. From the big and rocky mountains, to the quiet wilderness areas. We are so lucky to have it be our backyard of sorts, feel blessed with every trip up here. Though we’d love the trails to be a little less rocky lol - two boys can dream!
We were over on Monroe on the 4th! Kinda in the same neighborhood. Awesome video as always!
@@zerolimitsoffroad6346we could have waved to one another from the summits! One of these days we’re bound to run into one another and we look forward to it! Appreciate all the kind words on the videos 😊
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍7
Thanks for watching!
Holy shit, I never realized that's why it's called the A-Z Trail. #mindblown
Hahahahahhaa. I stood there and was like omg 🤯
Great video of a great hike! I'm loving how clear the trail markers are there.
Thank you! Only sometimes in the Whites. Other times you can hike for miles and be like is this the trail.
My husband and I did this same hike last month and it totally kicked my butt. We had plans to do all 3 summits but we ran out of steam and had nothing more to give. We were lucky enough to see a large bull moose near the summit of Mount Tom! It was amazing! Now we have to hike Willy but contemplating going back down the same trail at the Willy house. I hear that it is very steep and know it has a large section of ladders. Great video! 😊
Awww, I saw the tracks but missed the moose! Willy from the other side is a lot of climbing and those ladders are crazy! Nothing too scary, just lots and lots of them as you come up to summit.
I was there in the wintertime with microspikes.
Great spot to visit year round! We’ve got a video on our channel about visiting in winter.
I’ve been to the Whites three times . Never any switchbacks 😂. Love those Mountain View’s
Ha! So true - up and up and then right back down. Thanks for watching!
There are trails.... some trails.... ok, a few, that do have sections that actually switchback... but not many of them. Wish there were more of them.
@@rogerlevasseur397we think you could probably count the trails with switchbacks in the Whites on two hands max!
cool
It’s a beautiful falls

It was an awesome hike!
Great video journey! Mt. Dew is my reward at the end of a hiking journey also. 😊

Just finished the hike last Saturday!! It was MAGICAL! And ROUGH!!! I am still recovering physically.. lol Went counterclockwise. Camped at Guyot, then Garfield, then hiked out. So many amazing views and memories!
Glad to hear that you had such a good time!! It's one of the amazing and rugged treks in the Whites. We love it and can't wait to do it again.
Nothing better than some waterfalls - except waterfalls AND a cave! Nice share guys!
It was so freaking cool!!
One of these days I’m gonna get my @$$ back there. Sooooo beautiful!
It’s such an amazingly scenic area. Every time I’m there I’m still amazed by the diversity and beauty of the region.
Ok that was pretty awesome! I have always been interested in doing some type of canoe camping adventure on the Buffalo River, I never knew of this spot, thanks!
We had planned on a paddle on the river, but the water levels were too low when we got there, so we settled for some tubing and lots of exploring.
I like cave
It sure was an adventure climbing down to the waterfall underground!
Hey boys, love you two. Im doing Madison this weekend! Any trail suggestions for a vaguely out of shape 40 year old lol?
Easiest ascent to the hut is via Valley Way trail, which starts at the Appalachia Trailhead. From there take the Appalachian Trail up to the summit of Madison. Go back down the way you came up. Every other approach is longer and or steeper (or both).
Patiently waiting for your White Mtn & Maine video.
We’ve been working our way thru Moe’s old pics and videos to see what we can pull together.
@HikerTrashHusbands Super cool stuff. Doing the 4ks on the weekends and found your stuff recently. Watched thru alot of AT thru hike stuff and your NH hikes. Glad I found your channel!
@@buckaroobanzai2551 Awesome of the 4000-footers! Glad you've enjoyed the videos - we've got some new NH content coming up after a few more videos from our Arkansas trip. Thanks for watching and maybe we'll run into you in NH!!
Happy birthday Moe!!
Thank you 😊
Given what I know? You wouldn't believe what you guys hiked through. 🍿😐 You guys see anything "strange" on your hike by any chance?
Just a great section of trail

Thanks!
Looks like the highlight was Imp Face. Seemed like you had the trail to yourself. I’ll bet folks use this trail to reach the Carters
Yes, definitely the Imp Face, but overall it’s a nice loop (especially without snow) for a 3-4 hour hike that’s relatively moderate for White Mountain standards.
I’ve gone up that way to do a big loop of the Carters. Ever been to the Imp campsite? I’d like to check it out at some point.
I haven’t been to the Imp Camp, but it’s on the list of places for us to further explore.
@RhodySeth, just got back from a Wildcats-Carter-Moriah traverse. We backpacked it. Stayed at Carter Notch Hut and Imp Shelter. Imp Shelter was brand new in 2017. I highly recommend staying there.
@@OutdoorsWithJohnUSA good to know, thanks John!
@@OutdoorsWithJohnUSAthanks for the info!
Imp trail.? Interesting names. Amazing range. I like the snow line at the peak.
Not sure where the name comes from, but it’s a great hike and you can’t beat the view from the Imp Face/Cliff itself.
Beautiful nature
It sure is!
I was there a few weeks ago and to me, this is one of the most beautiful trail closest to NYC. Nice video guys!
Glad you enjoyed the hike and the video! It sure is a beautiful mountain and a great hike. Hope you check out our other videos too - lots of Catskills’ hikes
