Hikes · New York
Best hikes in New York.
New York surprises people: the High Peaks of the Adirondacks, Catskill waterfalls, gorge trails past dozens of falls, and scrambles an hour from the city. The Adirondack summits are a real undertaking with a short snow-free window; the gorge and Hudson hikes go three seasons. Big wild north, accessible south.
