This is the shortest, but steepest way up Hunter. It’s a small lot in the winter, so be sure to arrive before 11 on decent weather weekends if you’re looking to park here. Be sure to bring the right gear as the mountain can be unforgiving to the unprepared in the winter. Beautiful views!

It a great hike, but there are some rough sections to go through. The trail has a lot of loose rocks now. More than the last time I went. Have fun be careful

Went to the top of Hunter Mountain via the Becker Hallow trail. The incline was very steep, but the trail was not very technical. In mid-March, the last half mile was covered in snow and ice. I would not recommend going up without spikes or poles.nnThe views at the top of the mountain were great, but the rest of the trail wasn't too scenic. A reasonably fit person could hike up and back in about 3 hours.

This is the place to park for the steepest hike up Hunter Mountain! The entrance way is perfect in fall! The first time we went there was a foggy wet day so the parking lot was empty, it was full last time we went in early fall. However at the entrance, first time we went there, there were even amounts of red and yellow leaves on the trees and the hiking trail, it was perfect! However, the best part of the hike is when you get to about 3,600ft. The air changes, you're at the beginning of the timberline and the aroma of the trees is like nothing else besides Xmas times 1000! There is a sweet fire tower at the top of the mountain and is usually most days. They do tend to have park rangers at the cabin by the tower but were very friendly and even offered to watch our dog as we climbed the tower, but out pup made it 90% of the way and it's high and very windy, but the view is worth it!
