About Balsam Mountain

Balsam Mountain is one of the four peaks required to be climbed in winter for membership in the Catskill 3500 Club. It features a densely wooded summit and is often climbed in conjunction with nearby Eagle Mountain.

History

Balsam Mountain takes its name from the balsam fir trees that dominate its upper slopes. It became one of the original peaks on the Catskill 3500 Club list when the club was formed in the early 1960s, and is one of the four peaks that must be climbed in winter for membership.
