Our family hiked the Pinnacle Trail and had an awesome time! The beginning of the trail (pictured below) was challenging yet manageable, and the pitch flattened out over time. The trail could be considered “steep” for 30% of the climb and moderate/ flat for the rest. Or course, the views are breathtaking and provide a perfect spot for pictures and picnics!

Love this park for its beautiful views on Lake George. It's peaceful and remarkably clean. Really nice people meet up here, the restrooms are clean, and you can dock your boat and enjoy the water.

These peaks can be approached singly or jointly, and the way you can approach them is variable. My husband and I recently hiked this trail, hiking first up Thomas Mountain then hiking over to Cat, and then back down. It is at least a 4-hour commitment, but I advise leaving plenty of time to take in the view at the top of Cat. The hike up Thomas mountain is not terribly exciting, as other reviewers have commented. It is essentially straight uphill the entire way, and thus the peak can be reached relatively quickly. At the top of Thomas you can see Lake George and the Adirondacks. There is a cabin there that hikers can use on a first-come-first-served basis, with a fire pit and latrine. From Thomas over to Cat is about 2.25 miles. This hike is much more interesting with a wide variety in terrain from walking thru fields of pine trees to a lot of up and down and rock scrambling. There aren't too many views during this part of the hike, but there is one lookout that the trail will direct you to. Cat Mountain provides gorgeous sweeping views of Lake George and the Adirondacks. Bring a lunch and water and sit and take it in. You won't want to come down. (Note: There are two other ways to get to Cat Mountain, one from the trailhead parking lot and also a much steeper trail (marked by red blazes). We hiked down the trail directly to the parking lot, which was fine, but I cannot comment about the steep trail.)

My wife wanted an easy walk in the woods without climbs. We chose this as it met the requirements and was remote enough to get away from busy Bolton. There are a few different trails to chose from. We selected the orange and blue trail. Neither had climbs and the terrain was smooth and easy to traverse. We saw deer in several areas and a variety of birds. Use god and turn it on before you leave Bolton. There is no service in ithis area. It is not hard to find but use your cell to take a picture of the layout of the trails so you know where to hike and the general layout of this 500 acre preserve. Nice for fall foliage.
