Hike to the White Cliffs of Millbrook Mountain at Minnewaska
Sunday, May 11, 2025 09:30 AM - 02:00 PM
Join Laura Conner,
Environmental Educator, and Abigail Hedler, Student
Conservation Association/AmeriCorps Environmental Educator, for this modestly challenging, five-mile round-trip hike along the
Millbrook Mountain Footpath and Millbrook Mountain Carriage Road. Stunning,
panoramic views of the Wallkill Valley and the Catskills are abundant from the
top of the white cliffs of Millbrook Mountain.
The footpath section of this outing traverses through forests, over a stream
and exposed rock slabs, with sustained downhill and uphill sections. Some
participants may find this uneven terrain challenging. The other half of this
loop hike, which is on the meandering Millbrook Mountain and Lake Minnewaska
Carriage Roads, is less strenuous, offering scenic views of the steep-sided
Palmaghatt Ravine below and distant views of New Jersey. Participants should bring water, snacks and lunch and wear appropriate
hiking shoes. Meet at the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center. Pre-registration is required by calling the Lake
Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752.
