Western Ridge Trail to Overlook

The trail goes from the parking area past a power line to the jeep track, and then up to a second power line. A couple hundred yards of rocky trail leads to a forested trail for the rest of the climb. You will pass a few other trails along the way, so keep following the YELLOW trail markers. The reward is a spectacular overlook of the Hudson River as it flows southwest and makes a sharp turn to the northwest. This track is only for the climb to the overlook. The Western Ridge Trail continues for several miles along the ridge past several other overlooks to a parking area just off Spier Falls Road at its summit.
