Nestled in the Hudson Highlands on the banks of the Majestic Hudson River, Cold Spring’s Spectacular views provide the perfect backdrop for a day of hiking. Come to Hudson Valley Outfitters before your hike to pick up a map and we'll give you some suggestions for the day.
Bull Hill/Mt. Taurus 3.8 miles - Intermediate
This trailhead is walking distance from the Cold Spring Train Station. The trail starts up a sparsely wooded area headed for an abandoned quarry. As the trail climbs steeply it offers fantastic views over the Hudson to Storm King, Breakneck Ridge, the Shawangunks, and finally the Catskills in the far distance.
Breakneck Ridge 2.5 miles - Advanced
One of the most rugged and scenic of the park trails, the Breakneck Ridge Trail follows an open ridge from the Hudson River to the top of South Beacon Mountain. Perched high above the Hudson, the views at the summit are breathtaking and is an ideal place to rest after a demanding hike.
