• Governors Island Welcome Center - The Catskills Byway officially begins in the town of Andes, which is just ahead. Although our tour is just starting, Andes is a charming community worth exploring, so I suggest we spend some time here before continuing our journey.

Note:
This tour starts from Silver Lake, Andes (26731-26565 NY-28, Andes, NY 13731), which is 53 miles away.

Alternatively, a second route begins at Kingston Snack Shop, 555 NY-28A, West Hurley, NY 12491, which is 51 miles away.

• Belleayre Lake - It’s important to note that the two camels are not actually separate rocks. They once looked like the rest of the rock face, but a tiny, nearly invisible crack formed within one layer of the sandstone.

• Palmer Hill Trail - We’re approaching the Palmer Hill Overlook. There’s a stunning view right from the parking area, and an interpretive sign highlights the distant mountains, helping you identify the area’s higher peaks. The view is easily accessible from the road, making it a quick stop to enjoy without any hiking, unless you prefer a short hike.
