Warning: The Dangers of Pratt Rock

Pratt Rock Trail, leading up to the Mount Rushmore of the Catskills, was really tough for my city kids, who’ve already hiked plenty of beginner trails in the Catskill Mountains. I disagree with the tourism site that calls it “perfect for beginners.” For us, it was way too big a jump into harder hikes. There are some great views, but hikers need to avoid a giant wasp nest near the stone carvings.
