Hike Description:

This loop hike steeply climbs Breakneck Ridge, with many spectacular views over the Hudson River. 

Despite its relatively short length, this is generally considered to be the most strenuous hike in the East Hudson Highlands. It involves steep climbs over rock ledges. If you are afraid of heights this may not be the hike for you. 


Details

Difficulty: Strenuous

Length: 2.8 miles


You'll need to:

  • Wear hiking boots or sneakers and gloves for grip
  • Bring water and snacks in a back pack which you will carry
  • Dress for the weather
We will break into two groups, one for the adults and one for the kids who will go ahead.  Middle school kids and High School kids should have no problem. Middle Schoolers must have one parent with them on the hike.  Once you begin the hike, there is no turning back.

NOTE: Rain will cancel this event!! 
**Parents are encouraged to attend as well. Be sure you and your kids are physically able to attempt this strenuous hike.
