Hook Mountain Hike

The trail to the top of Hook Mountain can be found on 9W just 1.8 miles north of Rt. 59 in Nyack. There’s a place to park your car on the east side of the road just past the 40 mph sign. If you walk just a little bit north of there, go under the power lines and look to the right, you will see this rock that tells you where the trail starts.
Then just follow the yellow marks on the trees.
It’s a good place to look at trees of all stages of life.



Don’t forget to stop for water.
Look at the moss. You’ll notice it’s different at the top.

When you reach the big rock, you’re more than half way there!

You’ll come to a “river” of rocks.
At the top, one of the best views of the Hudson Valley you’ll find anywhere. It was a little misty the day we went.





Heard at the top:

Hey, that’s the pool where I took swimming lessons that time!

What would happen if I threw my Frisbee off the cliff?

There’s a cactus up here!

Are those two people over there in love?

Let’s find a rock to sit on!

Where are all the people whose cars are parked by the road?

Could we bring Miss B. here next time?

How come it’s so muddy?

Where’s the house where that guy from U2 lives?

Hey somebody was eating chicken wings!

Did we bring any snacks?

Why do we have to be quiet??!!

(Silence)

(Whispering) Mom, your camera's making too much noise!
