From NYC taking the metro North we really enjoy the day we expect not much people but we were surprised that all the hiking trails was line with people was very beautiful experience we really recommend here we will go back again

The trail will take you to one of the peaks, and on the way you will pass along the edge of an old abandoned quarry where you will have a great view of the Hudson River Valley and the town of Cold Spring.

Well-marked trail that merges with Breakneck if you are seeking a longer hike. We enjoyed the view points of the Hudson River & West Point on the way up

Lot was filled by 11- if you park by baseball field across the street, note that it is METERED (see green signs that we did not notice when we parked). You will get a $50 ticket…🤦🏽‍♀️

Beautiful trail! Strenuous after the first half mile. Bring hiking shoes and plenty of water. Great views at several points.

We went up pretty late, got some advice and a map from a table and team at the start. This hike includes a very moderate climb with beautiful views. We came down just in time for the sunset.

Great hike, we did the short bull hill path. The first mile is a killer, 1000 feet elevation. Not something you want to do in hot weather. There were a number of Instagramers/TikTokers around clustering around the scenic views but they seem tire quickly and fall away. Not too many ticks is seems, as I found none on me or my dog 🎉🎉. Some of the views are amazing, prepare to sit and admire the sites. I didn't get to see all of the farmhouse ruins. That's something for next time. Portapotties at the trailhead are a useful feature not to mention well marked trails. Parking is limited so it's best to get there early.

A trail with beautiful views along the way till you reach the summit. The first 1 mile is strenuous but it soothes as you progress. Once you reach the top,you get panoramic views of the Cold Spring town.

Part of the bull hill trail which is a wonderful alternative to the now flooded breackneck ridge trail system. If you go as early as 7am to begin your hike, it’ll just be you and nature! There are several unique vistas on the accent where you can take water breaks. The bull hill short loop is only about 2-3 hours long, so not too strenuous. It’s also a loop so you’ll end up right back in the parking lot!
