Singles Two Mines, Two Mountains Hike

Today, enjoy eight miles of climbing multiple peaks that overlook the Hudson River Valley in an uncrowded section of forest. The views are spectacular! We begin our adventure at sea level and climb a total of one thousand vertical feet. There are many ascents and descents and numerous beautiful overlooks on the course of this hike.

Take a long loop path through diverse terrain and foliage and watch birds of prey gliding overhead. You will have many different vantage points over the Hudson River and the rolling mountains that surround its banks. Along the trail, explore the openings of two abandoned iron mines last used during the Civil War to provide ore for ammunition and artillery. Partially submerged in water, the openings to the mines look like natural caves dug far into the rock.
