A fairy relaxed outing with a few steep pitches through deep woods to a scenic viewpoint and descending along a creek. Moderate. Mt. Taurus is just to the south of Breakneck Ridge.
The 2nd highest waterfall in NY state after Niagra! It's really beautiful and worth seeing if you are in the vicinity of Hunter, NY. It's a 2 hour hike - moderate.

Sam's Point - A long and remote scenic hike through the southwestern Shawangunks' oceanic dwarf pitch pine barrens. This trip includes the Ice Caves, the Verkeerder Kill falls, and the Berry picker's trail. See the pictures - but it's really beautiful and well worth the trip from NYC! About 2 hours ride by car.
