The Coxing Trail Loop in Gardiner, New York is a well-marked, moderately challenging hiking trail. Spanning approximately 7.39 miles, the loop offers a variety of terrain, including forested paths, rocky inclines, and stream crossings. The trail is known for its unique natural features, such as the Split Rock, a large boulder split in half, and the Coxing Kill, a clear, fast-moving stream. The trail begins at the Mohonk Preserve Visitor Center, where hikers can obtain a trail map. The initial section of the trail is a gentle incline through a hardwood forest. As hikers progress, the trail becomes steeper and rockier, leading to the Split Rock. Here, hikers can take a short detour to explore the rock formation. The second half of the trail descends towards the Coxing Kill. Hikers will need to cross the stream via stepping stones, which can be slippery after rain. The trail then loops back to the visitor center. Hikers are advised to wear sturdy footwear, carry water, and be prepared for sudden weather changes. The Coxing Trail Loop is a popular choice for those seeking a moderate hike with varied terrain and interesting natural features. It offers a taste of the diverse landscapes found in the Gardiner area.

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.
