The state’s capital, Albany, is to the northeast of the Catskills, which has as many as 30 mountains that have an elevation of at least 3,500 above sea level. The Catskills cover more than six counties and six thousand square miles in terms of area, with almost half of this land dedicated to the Catskills Park and Forest Preserve, home to many different kinds of animals.
