I have been hiking and climbing at the Mohonk Preserve for almost 20 years. This is a world-wide known destination for trad climbers of all skill levels and a gem for hikers who seek amazing views and warm-hearted locals. What's more is that it's only a 1.5-drive from New York City and the quaint local town of New Paltz always hosts local events and is fully featured with restaurants, breweries, cafes, antique shops, and novelty stores. Almost 20 years and I've never felt the need to go elsewhere.
