About this series "New York Living- Nature & Countryside":
We often feel fortunate to live in Manhattan-- get to enjoy its rich cultural life and, with a short drive, beautiful nature. This series shares the nature and countryside near Manhattan that we like to visit/do outdoor sports.
Minnewaska State Park
21,106 acres
3 lakes (Minnewaska, Awosting, Mud Pond)
25 miles of hiking trails (+35 miles carriageways)
Location:
-- About 100 miles northwest of Manhattan, in Ulster County.
-- On the Shawangunk mountain range. In the general area of Mohonk Preserve, Mohonk Mountain House. Southern Catskills is nearby too.
We ended up taking a too easy trail (Upper Awosting Carriageway and Hamilton Point Carriageway). On hindsight, it was a stupid mistake. We should have got hint by the "carriageway" name, right? We enjoyed the view though and will return for difficult trails in the future.
