Hike description:
This was a long hike for us, on a warm day. The first portion (northbound) is level with nice terrain. There is a roadwalk at the end. The second portion (southbound) was pretty rocky in places. This section is hilly. There was also a lot of noise from Routes 84 and the Taconic. Water is limited.
