This point has one of the best views in the entire park, offering vistas of the New York skyline, Newark, and Jersey City. With a bit of effort, you can even spot some of New York's most iconic buildings, such as the Empire State Building.

Closed dusk till dawn.

Nice low traffic stretch along the ridge line with many nice spots to stop and take in the views, though they are a bit obstructed by the tree line. Its particularly fantastic in autumn.

A rewarding mostly flat segment to enjoy the fruits of the climb even if you don't stop.
