I will always provide a free route map, but you can also download a hike/drive GPX to assist you and to help support my site. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is a free resource and I'm charging nominal fees to offset my substantial costs.

Jul 23, 2021 — I started from the large parking lot and crossed the road to start along the Ashokan High Point Trail. The trail is mostly an old roadbed that paralells Kanape Brook, but it's pretty and has a nice, gradual grade. The trail/road reaches the southern saddle of Ashokan High Point, where the road continues north along a true trail. The hike becomes much steeper from here to the summit. Along the way there are a couple of rocky sections, but nothing that requires scrambling. There was a mostly obscured view to the east from the summit. The high point is just to the northwest of the viewpoint.
Apparently you can continue northwest along the trail and make this hike into a partial loop, but I was exhausted from the last few days and just wanted to get back.
Please consider helping me out if you find my site useful. I'm not sponsored, so all site fees are out-of-pocket and my time preparing these trip reports is unpaid. You can also hire me as a web developer. I really appreciate it!
If you find my site helpful, please help me replace my many broken cameras, fund my website fees (hosting, APIs, security), or just support my countless hours of work. I pay for all expenses myself, and all trip reports I post are unpaid and unsponsored, so any support is really appreciated!

My site is free to use, but consider sending me a few bucks to help keep it running. Thanks in advance!
