Stairway to Heaven

Covering multiple terrains, this hike starts off with a walk over a board walk through wet lands before crossing an open field. On the other side the climb begins! Climbing this rocky territory rewards you with a terrific view of the area.


 

Overlook Mountain


Suffern, NY- 1 hour and 15 minutes

Montclair, NJ- 1 hour and 40 minutes

Bethel, NY- 1 hour and 30 minutes


In the town of Woodstock, it’s a straight climb to the top! A rigorous incline with the best rewards on this list. At the summit, the concrete structure of an abandoned hotel rises above the trees with many rooms and stair cases to climb and explore. Keep walking and find the fire tower gives you a panoramic view of the surrounding hills, but that isn’t what the hike is named after. What you came fore is the view from the rock ledge inscribed with the names of fellow hikers before you that offers a sweeping view of the Hudson Valley that goes on and on.

 

 

When you finish this hike, take some time to refuel and check out our wholesale clients at the Pheoncia Dinner not far off!
