The Catskill 3500 Club, founded in 1962, continues to uphold the following principles for its members:
Foster interest in hiking;
Provide on-going education on outdoor skills; and
Engage in public service, stewardship, and responsible conservation of our region's natural resources.
We value and celebrate those who have ascended, on foot, the 33 highest peaks on public lands in the Catskill Mountains, as well as those who have additionally hiked these mountains in winter.
