Sightseeing

Hike through through the forest with several steep sections for views of the Hudson Valley. The Overlook Trail has some sections that are very rocky, but it is easy to follow. The steepest section has two very good viewpoints over the Hudson Valley. These are great places to take a break from the steep ascent and is a great photo opportunity!
