About this city
Hunter is an industrially resilient, highly energetic alpine resort township situated deep within the rugged granite peaks of the high Catskill Mountains in Greene County. Developed in the post-Civil War era as an important regional timber trading post and bluestone quarrying nexus, the city transitioned beautifully over the generations. Today, Hunter thrives globally as one of New York's absolute premier capitals for winter extreme snow sports and high-altitude wilderness adventure, boasting the state's highest and longest zipline networks.
