GERTRUDE'S NOSE AND MILLBROOK MOUNTAIN LOOP
Explore this 6.7-mile loop trail near Kerhonkson, New York. Generally considered a moderately challenging route. This is a very popular area for hiking, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring.
Gertrude’s Nose Trail travels through dense wooded areas to beautiful views while trekking along various cliff edges and rock formations, starting from Millbrook Mountain all the way to Patterson's Pellet with the main highlight being Gertrude's Nose.
Make sure to bring lots of water and get ready for some rock scrambling! This route has the potential to get wet and muddy, with lots of little creek crossings so wear appropriate footwear. More info on https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/new-york/gertrudes-nose-trail
