At an elevation of 1,788 feet, Sunset Rock is the main overlook within Taconic State Park. The trail reaching the overlook is a pretty steady climb that is primarily locked in the trees, so the overlook is a welcomed sight. There is a short spur trail at the mountain's high point that leads to this rocky outcrop.
