Hudson Highlands

Pine Swamp Mine in Harriman State Park
This hike to and beyond Pine Swamp Mine is a wonderful butterfly-shaped figure-of-eight loop through Harriman State Park.

Bull Hill (Mount Taurus) Full Loop Hike
Bull Hill (Mount Taurus) Full Loop is a challenging route that’s absolutely packed with views and ruins.

Mount Beacon Fire Tower via Casino Trail
The short and very scenic route to Mount Beacon’s Fire Tower.


Anthony’s Nose via Camp Smith Trail
This route to the lookout on Anthony’s Nose is gentler than the classic route from the north.

Schunemunk Mountain Loop
The terrain is the star on this mostly moderate hike over Schunemunk’s two ridges. This long, challenging route includes the base of Moodna Viaduct, The Megaliths, and excellent views.

Storm King Mountain
This route offers better parking and quieter trails, with all the incredible views.

Breakneck Ridge
Super scenic and super sketchy — this is the funnest and most popular day hike in New York’s Hudson Highlands.
