Easily one of the most scenic places in the Hudson Valley to stay overnight. The sweeping views of the river and surrounding rolling hills and mountains are unbeatable. The shelter can sleep approx. 4 people but there are numerous spots for pitching a tent as well.

Running

This is a nice lean-to, perfect for a break or to spend the night. It is made out of stone and timber and contains two fireplaces. From here you have a great view of the area.

Hiking

First come-first serve for this shelter. Plenty of space nearby to pitch a tent of hang a hammock if the shelter is full. Make sure to head over to the shelter as the sun sets for a great view of the New York City skyline glowing in the falling darkness.
