The Catskill Escarpment often referred to locally as just the Escarpment or the Great Wall of Manitou and known as the Catskill Front to geologists is the range forming the northeastern corner of the Catskill Mountains in Greene and Ulster counties in the U.S. state of New York. It rises very abruptly from the Hudson Valley to summits above 3000 feet (910 m) in elevation including three of the Catskill High Peaks with almost no foothills.
