Moderate 4 mile loop hike up Storm King Mountain.

Great views of the Hudson River and the surrounding hill

NO Dogs

What to bring
Bring plenty of water, lunch/something to snack on, insect repellant, suntan lotion and anything else you need to enjoy the hike... tissues or bandaides. Hiking boots are recommended ... remember to dress in layers

Meeting point
As there are several pull outs and this location can only be reached from the south, please pay close attention to the directions:

Take Route 9W North for about 8.5 miles from the Bear Mountain bridge traffic circle, to the large parking area on the right. The parking is located where the road turns to the left, just after the top of the hill, there should be a blue parking area sign. There is a small gravel lot prior to this parking area this is NOT our meeting point.

NOTE: There is no access to this parking lot from the north (i.e. driving south on 9W). You will need to drive over the top of the hill on 9W (you will see your final destination a large parking lot on the left, just before you crest the hill) and continue driving south, turning around where you can. The best turn around point is probably Route 218.
GPS location: N41 25.390, W74 00.067.

Cancellation notices: RAIN CANCELS ALL EVENTS
Please make sure to check your email/site prior to leaving your house the morning of the hike, cancellation notices will be sent prior to 8:00 am if required

       I was going to go to another event, but I got this notice about climbing Storm King and really wanted to go there instead. I've been climbing Breakneck for years always looking over to Storm King and wondering about how to get up there, but never going. It was great going with the group and I had no idea what a wonderful view would be the reward. Well worth it. We ate blueberries along the way. I will be taking my friends on this climb again. Thanks, Liz and Rich!
