Mount Beacon Park, part of the Hudson Highlands State Park Preserve, is beautiful, with fantastic hiking trails and spectacular panoramic views. The park's trails, which range from moderate to challenging, lead to the summit of South Beacon Mountain, with a restored 60-foot fire tower, offering breathtaking vistas that stretch from the Manhattan skyline to the Catskill Mountains, especially on a clear day. The park is also home to the remnants of the historic Mount Beacon Incline Railway, once the world's steepest, and the foundations of an old casino and hotel, adding a unique historical dimension to the natural beauty of this area.

A metal staircase helps to overcome the first steep climb. Since all trails start/end here, the stairs protect nature. Because all hikers have to go through here and so the stairs protect the mountain from erosion.

Hopewell Junction is the location of the of the junction of the Newburgh, Dutchess and Connecticut railroad line with the New York and New England line. Now, it is the anchor of the Dutchess Rail Trail, a 13 mile long walking and cycling path.

This is where the Dutchess Rail Trail and the Maybrook Rail Trails meet. There are bathrooms. Candy and soda machines are seasonlly available. Bike tools and air are available.

Only the outer walls of the cable car building have been preserved, the roof is completely missing. On the other hand, it is easy to get to the remains of the machines, which are quite well preserved. Two large electric motors where you can still see the wire windings, huge gears with a few teeth missing. I find it remarkable that the foundations are concreted, but the bases for the machinery were built from bricks on top of them. These bricks are likely to have had a rather poor quality, because they are almost completely weathered, which means that the complex has settled a lot.
