If you're in New York and want to go hiking, this is the ideal place. Easily accessible by train, scenically beautiful, and interwoven with many trails of varying difficulty.

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.

It is difficult to walk through all the viewpoints. But most show the Hudson River. The reservoir is different here...

Great view point from Breakneck Ridge of Lake Surprise and Lake Surprise Camp.

The view from the tower is impressive, no question about it. We visited the place on a hike from Beacon to Cold Spring and be careful: the way down towards Cold Spring is much steeper than the ascent and goes over some rocks. In the alpine area it would be an easy via ferrata. Be especially careful with children and use appropriate shoes.

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.

Erected in 1931 so rangers could spot forest fires in the Hudson valley. You can climb to the top and see great 360 degree views. The elevation at the top is around 1,765 ft. above sea level.
