?Fabulous views some of the best i’ve seen in this park of NY. The beginning is a straight very steep climb, hand over hand pushing your way up. Once at the top you can take an easier way down then you went up or you can continue on the white trail which will take to a a few others trail or to the fire tower which is what we did. This was much further then we thought it would be. Once we got to the tower we were pretty tried and running low on water which was worried sum because we still had to decent back down on the yellow to breakneck train station. Our decent was confusing and not marked clear enough, we made some wrong turns which ate up time. Bring more water then you think. Give youself more time then you think you will need. The best part of this hike is the beginning assent to the top. Not sure if is worth going to the tower from breakneck. All in all this is a strenuous hike with rewarding views which are worth it!
I’m pretty sure I made the first leg of this hike harder than it should have been.
My pay off was mind blowing views of the Hudson River and West Point,

All in all a great and challenging hike just a quick train ride from NYC, I look forward to doing it again in the near future.
This trail is just the right amont of strenuous for the intermediate hiker. The steep ascent at the beginning can be tackled either by planning or force, depending on whether you prefer a rounded out path or to go straight up the boulders. Beautiful views of the river and surrounding Bear Mountain. Not for one who is afraid of heights.
Unfortunately the trail guide is too vague and the map unhelpful. At the beginning of the Breakneck trail head (at the north end of the tunnel on the Hudson river side) you will see a box nailed onto the side of a tree. It also provides blaze colors for each of the mapped trails; extremely helpful. Starting on the white trail at the north of end the tunnel, the first intersecting trail will be yellow heading right. This trail does switchbacks down to the base of the mountain, where it intersects with the red trail on the right. The red trail ends at the south end of the tunnel. For perspective,
New Style Buy Viagra Online a Great Number Of Cheap, the intersection of the yellow and white trails from the start of the white trail to is about twice the distance from the start of the whtie trail to the American flag/POW flag (this flag will be obvious if you are walking/driving to the tunnel). I intended to loop back through the Breakneck Bypass trail but in talking with some other hikers on the trail it is apparently a lot farther than heading back on yellow.
If you are using this trail guide, let me add some much needed information for MetroNorth users to Breakneck Ridge Station stop. The trail lists two trail heads. We looked for the yellow trail, since we wanted an easier ascent up. The directions in this guide are so vague and inaccurate to that trail head. When you get off the train,
Retail Price Buy Viagra Online Buy Now Save Off 40%-60%, walk towards the tunnel til you see the parking lot on the left. Continue to walk through the tunnel from the road, and it is supposedly much further up the road. We never found it even asking an organized trail leader who told us it was "just on the other side of the tunnel". Later, when he saw us on the white blazed trail ascent and I told him I couldn’t find the trail head he said, "Oh, you have to go way past the tunnel,

I consider myself an intermediate hiker. I would say the ascent up would be at the very advanced end of intermediate advanced. There were two times when it bordered on being more like rock climbing. But it was a great hike to Cold Spring and I would highly recommend it! However, unless you are an intermediate level hiker with good hiking boots, do not attempt the rocky ascent.
Great trail with excellent views of the Hudsen River, the "Gunks", with the prominant Tower, and Catskills.
A challenge with the plastic trail markers,
Sale Online Buy Viagra Online Where Can Buy Cheap, particularly the Yellow, as they have been washed out by the sun and appear white. Not such a great thing when there are white marked trails in the area.
The trail may be difficult for beginners and those not used to winter hiking, as some of the descents are tricky.
The wind twisted trunk of a now dead tree is rather beautiful on the prominace of Sugarloaf overlooking the Ridge behind it and Storm King across the Hudsen.
This is ONE OF THE BEST hikes I have ever taken. The rock scrambles are something I enjoy immensely! For a while it seems that you will never reach the top. The views of the Hudson in both directions and across to Storm King are most rewarding! We stopped at Sunset Point and returned by the Wilkinson Trail. I will return to complete the trek to the fire tower. The Wilkinson Trail from Sugarloaf down to the parking area is STEEP at times and makes an interesting descent,
New Style Buy Viagra Online With Lowest Price Authentic. This trail is VERY popular. Trying to hike on a weekday might be a good idea.
As you head north on Rt. 9D and go through the tunnel there will be two parking areas on your left. One right after the tunnel is small, a larger one is up ahead. There are two trailheads. The Wilkenson Trail (yellow blaze) is to the north and the Breakneck Trail (white blaze) is to the south. Cross the street to get to the Wilkenson Trail. Stay on the same side of the road as the parking areas to get to the Breakneck Trail. You will cross over the train and road tunnel as you hike up this trail. The Wilkenson Trail acsends steeply through forest on a dirt and rocky trail but views along the way are limited due to the canopy. The Breackneck Trail ascends much more rapidly to the point of hand over hand rock scrambling. Views of the Hudson come quicker along this trail.
Me and my wife have done this trail twice, on 7/1/07 and 7/15/07, plan on doing it again tomorrow 7/22. We love this trail,
New Release Buy Viagra Online Your Best Choice To Buy, especially the intial rock scramble which is a challenging,
Retail Price Buy Viagra Online Sites For Authentic, but doable climb up. We have yet to cover the whole trail as outlined in this guide. We got to withing 1 mile of the Beacon Tower the first time out, but turned back due to the fact that it was getting late and we figured it would take time to get back. Second time out we just decedided to do the intitial rock scramble and hike back down the Breakneck Bypass Trail. That in itself is a great hike. We will do the full hike by the end of fall.
Amazing Hike! Took the scramble up (White blaze trail)! It is as advertised steep be prepared to use all fours/rock climb in parts. Definitely a great work out and the views are definitely worth it! Be careful to wear appropriate shoes and watch where you’re going! There were a few drop offs that could freak out the faint hearted (we actually had to go around a woman sprawled on a very steep part of the trail who refused to move due to fear)! Also, definitely bring plenty of water! I went through almost 2 liters of water and a Gatorade bottle. And wear sunblock it’s very easy to burn the backs of your shoulders going up. Definitely recommend continuing on the white trail on to the blue trail but be aware that there’s a bit of overgrowth and the white trail isn’t as well marked in parts. It eventually gets better, but there is that moment of confusion! Also, watch for the split to the blue trail it could be easily missed. Due to time constraints,

The first mile of this trail with without a doubt one of the best trails anywhere. It’s fun, with outstanding views and beautiful open air. I have now hiked this trail three times and have taken different routes down each time. It is possible to make Breakneck into an all day 10 mile hike with multiple inclines and declines, or to make it into a quick 2 hour tour by heading down at one of several cutoffs. Unfortunately both side and back routes are relatively poorly marked. Still, I would recommend this trail to anyone seeking a fabulous outdoors experience especially so in that it is within an hours drive of Central Park!
Did not have time to complete entire trail,
Original Buy Viagra Online Famous For Selling Cheap, but managed to complete about 1/3 of hike. There is parking along the highway and a lot which is beside the Hudson and railroad tracks.
The trail begins with steep climbing over rocks. You quickly encounter pretty views over the Hudson valley. The initial portions of the trail reveal signs of its popularity and traffic, with graffiti and miscellaneous pieces of litter. The deeper one travels into the forest along the ridge, the better the natural experience. It is diifcult to believe civilization is nearby on either side of the ridge (Beacon to the north and Cold Spring in the south). I would advise taking a different return trail (Breakneck Loop trail if I recall correctly)) in order to avoid steep downward climbs.
The ease of visit from NYC combined with excellent views of the Hudson and variety of flora (including sweet blueberries) make it a very satisfying hike.
as always Breakneck is a thrilling hike/ scramble. it’s the most exciting ascent in the Hudson Highlands has some of the excitement of an Adirondack High Peak or White Mtn climb.
you can [ i do] make it evn more exciting by taking the more exposed routes doing some short rock scrambles,

i do this one 10 15 times a year in all seasons except when it’s very icy. the round trip up the ridge NW [left]down the red trail or further along down through an old woods road, short bushwack to the same trail is a great 1/2 day experience. bob meyer
What I find most attractive about this trail is that one can get to it by Metro North from Grand Central Station. On Saturday and Sunday the first two trains leaving the station stop at a whistle stop called Breakneck. The trail begins on the other side of the road next to the tracks. The trail is marked. Actually there are two ways to hike Breakneck Ridge. The Red Breakneck Trail markers and the Yellow Wilkilson Trail. The Yellow trail is easyer and less crowded,

One can hang out on Breakneck and from where you got off catch the late trains back to NYc or if you are really up to it hike back to Cold Spring.
Good energetic trail. Excellent ability to get there from Grand Central for a day trip. 1st part steep and rocky (couple of bits may give those without a head for heights a brief moment of doubt). Once past the first rise it turns into a good ramble. The trail is in good condition and easy to follow. The fall views,

If you keep up a fair pace the trail is about 5 hours
Great day hike, especially for easy access from NYC. You can take Metro North right to the "Breakneck Ridge" stop (there are, I believe, about two trains that stop there in the morning and two returning trains in the evening on the weekends). One trail head is just south of the train stop though the train makes for a very crowded trail because everyone debarks the train at once. Also, be far warned that the trail involves scrambling up rocks it is infamous for skinning people’s knees. If you are uncomfortable with heights,
70% Off 2014 Buy Viagra Online Store Online Womens, don’t bother with Breakneck. Other than being far too crowded, the trail offers sumptuous views of Storm King and the Hudson (including a mysterious decrepit castle on an island in the river). The hawks made a nice showing when I was there,
Real 100% Buy Viagra Online New Collection Is Available, riding rising thermals up and around the hills. If you scrambled up the white blazed trail south of the train stop, an easier red blazed trail will take you down to the bottom, instead of scrambling back down the boulders (the red trail can easily be found without map, just by continuing along the white blazed trail).
