Hike Description
- From Hosner Mountain Road, hike south on the A.T. and begin climbing Hosner Mountain, passing through a hemlock grove on your way up the ridge. There is a fine view of the Hudson River Valley to the north and west.
- At mile 1.3, reach a blue-blazed trail (the old A.T. that you will return on later) and continue following the white-blazed A.T. for another 0.6 mile to reach the southern end of the blue-blazed trail.
- Following the blue-blazed trail, which takes a lower route across the ridge, hike back to the A.T. and return to the trailhead.
Directions
Hosner Mountain Road is the first intersection on the Taconic State Parkway as you head north past I-84. Turn right off the Parkway and travel about 0.5 mile to a fork. Turn right, cross under I-84, and drive 0.25 mile to the A.T. crossing. There is limited parking available along the road.
