Also known as Mt Taurus, this mountain overlooks the charming town of Coldspring, an hour out of Manhattan in the Hudson Valley. You take the train from Grand Central and follow the Hudson River all the way up. The river keeps going and you get off and walk to the bottom of the mountain. It was a little early in the season as the leaves weren't fully formed, but what an exhilarating way to spend a Sunday! Here are some visual moments along the trail:
Typical forest low down
Abandoned farmhouse
Some slimy creatures in an old well
Reservoir
Another abandoned something
A swampy part
The final ascent
View from peak over the Hudson toward the Catskills
On the other side looking over the Hudson River & Valley
The slow descent
An old quarry
