February 13, 2021Nobody on the trail and the view is amazing. Snowy and decently packed down in most places. Spikes not necessary but helpful
January 26, 2021Beautiful cold day. Not a sole on the trail. No snow, no ice, no mud and blue skies! Gets your heart pumping as you climb thru the rock, boulders and fern. At the lookout your view is east to Ct. with the Housatonic down below.

October 24, 2020October 15, 2020October 13, 2020Beautiful scenery in the fall and light rain.
October 12, 2020***Really recommend starting this hike at Bulls Bridge (there’s a parking lot at Bulls Bridge which had plenty of spots at 10am on Sunday but was full when we left, parking is easier at the trail head if you are arriving after noon)... anyway, definitely wander the banks of the Housatonic before heading up this trail... it adds about 1.2m or so to the total but so worth it. without that, it is a good workout and a pretty vista but the add on makes it awesome.
October 11, 2020Great hike!
October 11, 2020Great moderate hike! Saw about a dozen people the whole time not bad for a Sunday afternoon
October 10, 2020October 10, 2020Just an ok hike overall. Pretty viewpoint. Fun to run down. 4 stars because we saw a 4 foot rattlesnake.
October 4, 2020Great trail well maintained with a beautiful view
October 3, 2020September 21, 2020September 21, 2020September 19, 2020Lovely hike on a beautifully maintained trail. Once I reached the top, that has an incredible view, I continued north and came down an old gully. The gully is wide and hikeable and marked as an off shoot from the AT. It brings the hiker down 1.5 miles north of the trail head on Schaghicoke Rd. Very nice, plan on doing it again.
August 1, 2020Such a nice hike! It’s a gradual climb with meandering switchbacks through rocky features. The overlook is beautiful. It was nice to spend some time sitting on the rocks before making our way back down.
