As an extension of the High Falls Loop, Cat Mountain is located in the northern region of the Adirondacks and offers a great vista point at the summit. From the beginning of the Wanakena trail head head left (east) for 0.5 miles to reach the trail register. From here enjoy flat terrain for a mile to beaver pond. Winter conditions usually allow the ability to cross the pond (otherwise use the reroute to the right) leading to the gentle descent to the edge of Dead Creek at about 1.2 miles after the High Falls trail register. Next the trail follow the the shore to the next junction where a trail leads to a lean-to at Janacks Landing. After the junction the trail begins to ascend with some steep pitches until the Sand Hill junction. Turn left at the junction and follow the Cowhorn TRail to the waterfall at the outlet of Glasby Pond before proceeding to the the Cat Mountain junction. Go left at the junction and continue to the summit. Note, the last few hundred feet to the summit is not skiable terrain. After reaching the summit, enjoy vistas of Cat Mountain Pond, Three Mile Mountain and clear views of undeveloped lands as far as the eye can see. Retrace your tracks to your vehicle.
