Fourteen Peaks Hike
Hiking/Trekking in New York with Outdoor Bound Adventures
Highlights
- Climb 14 peaks overlooking the Hudson River Valley
- Enjoy spectacular views in every direction
- A challenging hike not for beginners!
Full Description
Enjoy miles of challenging hiking and climbing to 14 peaks overlooking the Hudson River Valley in an uncrowded section of forest.
The views on the hike are unmatched! Several of our guides have proclaimed this their "new favorite hike." We begin our adventure at sea level, but will climb a total of one thousand vertical feet! There are many ascents and descents, hitting 14 high points over the course of this hike.
You will have many different vantage points over the Hudson River and the rolling mountains on its banks. We make a long loop path, so you won't see the same thing twice, only spectacular views, diverse terrain and foliage, and gliding birds of prey overhead. This hike is not for inexperienced or unfit hikers: though it is only seven miles, there are numerous long climbs and descents over rocky trails, making it a rugged and challenging hike.
