At the crest of Rose Mountain, there are a couple of loop trails through the woods. Rochester Hollow was named after Colonel William Rochester who built an estate at the top of Rose Mountain. One of the highlights of the trail is just beyond a sharp turn near the trail high point: a monument dedicated to 19th-century Catskills naturalist John Burroughs. A major collection of Burroughs writings can be found in the Skene Memorial Library in Fleischmanns , NY.
