Millbrook Mountain Hike at Minnewaska

Posted

Join a park educator for this modestly challenging, five-mile roundtrip hike along the Millbrook Mountain Footpath and Millbrook Mountain Carriage Road. Panoramic, scenic views of the Wallkill Valley in its finest autumnal colors are abundant from the top

of Millbrook Mountain. The footpath section of this outing traverses through forests, over a stream and over rock slabs, with sustained downhill and uphill sections. Some participants may find this uneven terrain challenging. The return trip on the meandering Millbrook Mountain and Lake Minnewaska Carriage Roads is easier, with cliff-edge views of the Palmaghatt Ravine. Participants should bring water, snacks and lunch and wear appropriate hiking shoes. Meet at the Minnewaska Nature Center. Pre- registration is required by calling Minnewaska at 845-255-0752.
