Ascent Trip ReportI stayed at North/South Lake Campground in Catskill, NY between 9/2-9/6 and I did multiple day hikes on 9/3-9/6 for 4 days.
Day-3 (9/5) was to hike at Hunter Mtn and Hunter Mtn SW peak including Fire Tower. We did loop hike and car spot was not required.
It took about 40min or so to drive to the trailhead of of Spruceton Trail TH on Spruceton Rd. from Campground.
Here is the short trip report:

11:20AM Arrived at Fire Tower at Hunter Mtn.
11:50AM Left Fire Tower.
12:15PM Arrived to cairns to head out on herd path to grab Hunter SW Peak. Ate lunch here.

There was no need bushwhacking on herd path to peakbag Hunter SW Peak. It was relatively easy hike.
