Difficult hike. Either you are climbing up or you are descending. 2 Hour round trip and I was tired the rest of the day.

Great for training or exercise. I hike / run this at least once a week. Great views, people and parking. Many rocks so watch your step but well worth it. Bring water on hot days. Don’t forget to sign the book at the top! Trail is dedicated to the men & women lost in the twin towers NYC

I would not describe this hike as easy it’s a nice trail but straight up. Had my baby strapped on me and I struggled. In Saying that my more husband who is more physically fit found it a lot less challenging.

This is a great trail. I live nearby and hike/run it year round. It’s very steep and will be a challenge for new hikers but it’s worth it for the view at the top.

what a disappointment and waste of time. Can’t get to this hike. The road is closed with a sign that says warning no trespassing private corporate property on site patrols trespassers will be prosecuted
