Challenging rock scramble in the Hudson Highlands State Park Preserve that offers spectacular views of Storm King Mountain and Bannerman’s Castle from cliff overlooks. Insider tip: Don’t bring small children or your dog (unless you can carry them), as many find it hard to scale the steep spots.

Arguably the most picturesque vista in the Shawangunks, Gertrude's Nose is a geologic snapshot of the destructive natural forces that are slowly ripping apart the Shawangunk conglomerate and leaving behind some of its most intriguing features. Traverses six miles of stunning views and fascinating geological formations and is a combination of wide carriage roads and rocky footpath.

It looks like a vintage movie set, but the tiny wooden train platform created specifically for Appalachian Trail hikers, about two miles outside of Pawling, is for real and operates on weekends and holidays. Don’t be fooled: The trail from the train station starts out easy and flat along a lovely wooden boardwalk over Great Swamp wetlands brimming with birds and frogs. Fields and forests follow, but then comes the whammy: a steep ascent to Cat Rocks that is rewarded with pretty, panoramic views.
