Panther Mountain, Mountain summit in Catskill Mountains, New York, US.
Panther Mountain reaches an elevation of 3,720 feet with steep slopes covered in northern hardwood forests transitioning to balsam fir at higher altitudes.
During the 1940s, geologist George Chadwick conducted drilling operations on the mountain, discovering natural gas deposits that were never fully exploited.
The mountain belongs to the Catskill 3500 Club, requiring hikers to reach its summit twice, with one ascent during winter conditions.
Visitors can access the summit through two main routes: the southern trail with viewing points or the northern path starting from Fox Hollow Road.
The mountain sits upon a suspected ancient meteorite impact crater from 375 million years ago, evidenced by circular stream patterns and gravitational measurements.
