This hike is for you if: You want to take in some amazing Hudson Valley views, and you’re not afraid to scramble up some rocks to see ‘em. Also, you have the ability to pretend that road noise is just really loud wind rustling through the leaves. Oh, and you want to do every hike in the area that sounds like a Harry Potter spell. POPOLOPEN TORNE! (You’re a porcupine now.)
This hike is for you if: You want to traverse some of the most beautiful trails in the area, see some pretty waterfalls, and check out a nice view at the top.
This hike is for you if: You want to take a relatively short stroll to a fire tower with a gorgeous view of the Catskills. Also, you appreciate attention to detail in your outhouses.
This hike is for you if: You want to take a pleasant stroll on some great new trails, see some crazy big trees, and scope out some beautiful views across picturesque meadows. (This place really chews through the adjectives.)
This hike is for you if: You’re looking for a short hike to a surprisingly nice payoff, all within view of the pizza place where you may decide to stuff your gullet later.
This hike is for you if: You want a great hike with views and a lake, but you’re not looking for much in the way of elevation change (though you could climb a steep ridge if you’re so inclined — there are two parking lots for this hike, so the degree of difficulty depends on where you park. We’re parking in the wimpy upper lot today, but feel free to tackle this hike from the burly lower lot.)
