Very awesome trail. The rock scramble was challenging but the view was so rewarding!

Breathtaking views. There's a rock scramble or foot path to get to the top.

A easy 20-30 walk to an amazing rock scramble to even a better view. If you love hiking you have to stop by on a good day to give it a try.

Beautiful and well-kept recreation area with great views. The rock scramble is well-marked with yellow arrows, but you can take any path depending on how daring you are. The loop hike is only 3 miles long though, so $15 for parking seems a bit steep. You can extend the hike, but its recommended to be out before sunset.

Questions & Answers

How is it coming down the rock scramble and can you bypass the scramble while some of my party goes up? Can we meet up or would we lose them or have to wait for them? Thanks

Coming down the face of the rock scramble is definitely not for the faint of heart. But it is doable and exhilarating for anyone with good hand-eye coordination and a decent sense of balance. There are a number of different trails at this Crag and it is advisable for both parties to download avenza maps and purchasing the Schawangunk trails ahead of time or a set of the rip-proof topographic maps so you can plot things out. Of course there would be some waiting involved if you split up. But splitting up wouldn't be a bad idea and May in fact be a great idea if you can coordinate your route
