From Wikipedia:
Kaaterskill Falls is a two-stage waterfall on Spruce Creek in the eastern Catskill Mountains of New York, between the hamlets of Haines Falls and Palenville in Greene County. The two cascades total 260 feet (79 m) in height, making Kaaterskill Falls one of the highest waterfalls in New York, and one of the Eastern United States' tallest waterfalls.
The waterfalls are one of America's oldest tourist attractions, being depicted or described by many books, essays, poems and paintings of the early 19th century. Long before Alexis de Tocqueville's famous essay on America, Kaaterskill Falls was lauded as a place where a traveler could see a wilder image, a sort of primeval Eden. Beginning with Thomas Cole's first visit during 1825, they became a subject for painters of the Hudson River School, setting the wilderness ideal for American landscape painting. The Falls also inspired Catterskill Falls, a poem by William Cullen Bryant.
The falls, like the clove and creek with which they share a name, are a relatively recent addition to the Catskills in terms of geologic time. They evolved through stream capture at the end of the Illinoian Stage, when runoff from the glacial melt that created North-South Lake began to flow away from the nearby headwaters of Schoharie Creek and down the steep slopes of the newly created clove. The rushing waters of what would become known as Spruce Creek eroded a natural amphitheater at roughly 2,000 feet (609 m) on the south slope of South Mountain.
Most of the drop is accounted for by the upper cascade. The shelf dividing the two falls (and creating the large pool between them) is the break between the Manorkill Sandstone formed in the Middle Devonian period and the Oneonta-Genesee sandstone-shale mixture of the late Devonian period.
While the falls are on public land, until recently they can only be reached via the Kaaterskill Falls Trail, a state-maintained yellow-blazed path running 0.4 mile (650 m) uphill from New York State Route 23A, the only road through the clove. This presented two safety problems. First, the trail itself climbs rather steeply from the road, along the sometimes steep and rocky slopes alongside the creek. Second, the trail is served by two parking lots along 23A, both of which require a walk of at least 0.2 mile (400 m) to reach the trailhead at Bastion Falls, just above 23A at a bend in the road. Due to both the rugged surrounding terrain and the limitations placed on Forest Preserve land by the state constitution, New York's Department of Transportation (DOT) has been unable to expand the narrow shoulder on either side of the road, requiring that visitors walk very close to high-speed traffic, including trucks, some of which are in the middle of descending a pronounced grade.
These concerns were alleviated by completion in 2016 of trail improvements to allow access from the Laurel House trailhead. These include a wheelchair accessible gravel path to an overlook platform, a 115-foot hiking bridge over Spruce Creek, and a new foot trail with stone staircase down to the middle pool, creating a link between the top and bottom of the falls.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kaaterskill Falls is a two-drop waterfall located in the eastern Catskill Mountains of New York, on the north side of Kaaterskill Clove, between the hamlets of Haines Falls and Palenville in Greene County's Town of Hunter. The dual cascades total 260 feet (79 m) in height, making it one of the higher waterfalls in New York, and one of the Eastern United States' taller waterfalls.
The falls are one of America's oldest tourist attractions, with it appearing in some of the most prominent books, essays, poems and paintings of the early 19th century.

The Catskill Mountains Scenic Byway stretches 52 miles across four towns, each having its own hamlets or villages. The Eastern Gateway of the Byway is approximately 12 miles West of Exit 19 on the NYS Thruway (87) and the Western Gateway of the Byway is approximately 33 miles East of Exit 14W on Interstate 88 (I-88).

Hunter Mountain: Kaatskill Flyer, 10/6/18
The Kaatskill Flyer is Hunter Mountain's main base to summit lift. It serves all trails on the main mountain and provides access to the Hunter West and Hunter North areas. Being the signature lift at the most visited resort in New York and running year round, it is one of the most ridden lifts anywhere in the northeast.
It was installed in 2010 by Leitner-Poma and is 5400 feet long by 1477 vertical with a capacity of 2600/hr. The design speed is 1000 feet per minute which it operates at in the winter. It is run much slower in the summer/fall like all lifts that have off-season operations. It's one of 3 Poma Omega systems in New York State, the other two of which are at Gore Mountain.
When installed, the lift was the first and only high speed 6 passenger chairlift in New York State, a title it still holds today. However, soon after it opens for winter, it will lose the only distinction. The new Hunter North expansion will include another Leitner-Poma 6 called Northern Express, and across the valley, Windham Mountain will debut their Westside Six, a Doppelmayr that will serve as the main base to summit lift.
This is the only lift at Hunter that runs a regular schedule in the summer/fall. Unlike many summer lifts, it does not serve a bike park, but the lift provides scenic rides, and access to the zipline tour and summit wedding venue. This recording was taken during Oktoberfest, so lift was far busier than it normally is during off-season operations. There was a significant wait at the bottom, and slow downs and stops were more frequent.
