Description

Added by Eduardo Gil

This loop hike runs along dramatic cliffs of Shawangunk conglomerate, with exceptionally fine views. It seems easy at first but you'll get your sweat on well within.

Water, hills, cliffs, boulders, easy carriage roads, and rocky paths - its all here!. This hike is somewhere in the vicinity of 8-11 miles, and has some moderate hill climbing at various points along the way. Plenty of different ways and lengthy to hike. Super well maintained and phenomenally marked.

This is the one i did during the winter time---> (http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=ndnoxkmnjyizcmbi)

It it well maintained and phenomenally marked The lake in the mountain is a nice spot to take a quick dip to cool off in season.

Gertrude's Nose

It would be impossible to see all of Minnewaska’s beautiful spots in one day. Gertrude's Nose is, in my opinion, the best view in the entire park. Round trip, the hike is approximately 5 hours, and is a 7.5 mile trip. To get to the trailhead: Drive to the Minnewaska State Park entrance, pass the main entrance, and drive up the hill until you reach the highest lot. From there, walk over to the ...

From the West Trapps parking lot ($15 for hikers), walk to the end of the parking lot and past a large kiosk. The trail connects the parking lot to the Overcliff Road/Undercliff Road junction. The loop can be done in either direction. I turned left on the Overcliff Road. This takes you behind the ridge and away from the cliffs. Follow this Carriage road for 2.5 miles until is descends to a...
