This one of the nation's leading local day hikes according to one of the top online hike sites.

If you love rock scrambles, challenging your personal best, need a breathtaking day outdoors with amazing vistas look no further .. this is it!

Sweeping views of the Hudson River, impressive overlook of Bannerman's Castle, humbling facade of Storm King across river, and spiraling vertical from the top.. the views are here. Just 80 minutes from NYC.

It is a testament to your ability to having fun, challenging your inner limits while pushing your outer limits with an elevation of approximately 1,220' at the beginning of the hike.

Our hike is approximately 7-8 miles along the ridge after we summit Breakneck. Sugarloaf North (or Mt. Taurus) is our final summit before descending back down to Earth and heading out to a great break for victuals and grog before heading back to the the urban jungle.
