A modern-day trail guide--complete with GPS locations, newly drawn maps, and modern trail descriptions--to the 19th century trails, viewpoints, and famous locations surrounding the Catskill Mountain House (est. 1823). These were America's first recreational mountain trails, frequented by the Hudson River School painters, Romantic-era writers, and America's pioneering landscape architects. Includes reprints from two classic 19th c. Catskill guidebooks.
