A hike to Kaaterskill Falls in the Catskill Mountains of New York State makes for a great day trip. Kaaterskill Falls, the tallest double-tiered waterfall in New York, has inspired artists such as Thomas Cole and Frederic Church, and you can behold its beauty at the end of a moderate, half-mile hike.

The picture above was taken during my April 2005 hike to the falls, and you'll see additional photos of Kaaterskill Falls and nearby Bastion Falls as you explore this guide and plan your own visit to this scenic spot.

Next, I'll tell you how to find Kaaterskill Falls.
