A short but essential link in the High Peaks Wilderness, this 2.6-kilometer connector bridges the Calamity Brook drainage and the Indian Pass corridor, marked throughout by blue disks. Maintained by the NYSDEC, the trail is reported to offer straightforward passage through terrain that serves primarily functional rather than scenic purposes, though the surrounding wilderness character remains intact. For those planning extended circuits or through-hikes in the western High Peaks, the route provides a logical and well-established crossover between two of the region's more storied approaches.
Calamity Brook - Indian Pass Crossover Trail runs 1.6 miles (2.6 km) with about 430 feet of elevation gain — an easy hike, with a moderate, steady climb, about 1 hour on the trail. NYSDEC maintains the route.
