I was honestly intimidated by this hike. But my friend and I made it up and along the way took our time and enjoyed stunning views of the Hudson and surrounding hills. It was crowded the weekend we went even though it was a couple of weeks after Labor Day weekend. There are a lot of good options for easier ways up that are clearly designated along the trail. We madeit to the third "top" out of what we were told were four total; but we decided to start our way back down because it was close to sunset. I'm glad we did because trying to go down that mountain and the scramble in the dark would've been crazy. We basically crab walked and slid our way down the mountain. It was fun but a little rough. we drove back to Coldspring for a wonderful dinner and back into the city. All in all I can't wait to go back again.
