THE HIKE:

The orangish trail starts from the parking lot.

When orangish turns left, nosotros turned right on white.

The trail shortly becomes steeper.

It's quite a mountainous in addition to rugged area.

Watch for the orangish trail on the left. It is slow to miss. After the overlook provide to this trail. White continues forthwith equally the spur shown on the map. I had backtracked thinking I missed the spur until I figured out the map was incorrect.

At the halt of white ...

The overlook.

And some litter Brodie packed out inwards his backpack.

After heading dorsum to orangish in addition to turning right, a curt distance ahead left on blue.

Blue loops or thus past times a swamp ...

... dorsum to orangish where nosotros turned left.

... thus left on a narrow strip of nation betwixt storey buildings.

Orange runs right into the Long Path where nosotros turned left.

The Hudson River in addition to Tappanzee Bridge come upwardly into view.

This expanse looked similar in that place mightiness convey been a menage at i time.

Must convey been since an onetime motility switchbacks downwards to Christian Herald Road.

At Christian Herald Road the Long Path turns right...

... but nosotros turned left intending to route walk to West Hook Mountain where in that place are trails shown on the map.

A right on Old Stone Road is the means but turns out it is a somebody route alongside KEEP OUT sign. Google populace shows some mansions that means thus seems the commons had a mansion built on it :(

We headed dorsum but instead of turning right on the Long Path, nosotros went a curt distance on a woods road. At a fork, left would piece of occupation downwards to the high school.

Right simply goes a curt means inwards a higher house the high schoolhouse in addition to fizzles out. I would shout upwardly taking the left fork in addition to walking through the high schoolhouse parking lot in addition to athletic fields, i would come upwardly out at that piece trail dorsum upwardly to the Long Path but nosotros retraced in addition to took the Long Path dorsum up.
