Churchill Mountain is a 3062′ peak in the Catskills. It is one of the Catskill 67. Its most redeeming feature is its close neighbor Utsayantha Mountain. As Churchill Mountain is on private land, one must gain permission from the landowner before entering the property. Having said that, people who do can hike a twofer as both Utsayantha and Churchill can easily be done in one day. Churchill Mountain is ranked 85th highest in the Catskill 100 and 50th of the Catskill 67.
