Super 8 by Wyndham Cobleskill NY

It is one of NY State's most popular hiking destination with spectacular views from many rock outcrops on the top of steep cliffs. The main trailhead for Vroman's Nose is a large grassy parking area off West Middleburgh Road. There is a sign for the busy parking area. From the parking area, follow the old woods road toward the right and immediately begin to climb. The overall elevation gain for this hike is 485 feet, but the grade is gentle enough with some steep sections. After 0.25...

When you arrive you will find a large parking lot on the left and a small one on the right. The one on the right is closer to the trails. The trailhead for this map starts in the larger parking lot.

Christman Sanctuary is a nature preserve that protects part of Bozen Kill Creek. Along the creek, there are a series of small waterfalls and cascades. From the parking area, follow the trail through the field to the sign-in register just inside the forest. Continue left on the trail with blue markers which will take you down to the creek. After about 1/2 mile, if the creek is low enough, you can cross and follow the Plantation Trail. It is best to follow this loop trail (marked with orange)...

This trail is part of the Mohawl Hudson Land Conservancy. It's a 138 acre parcel nestled out in the town of Knox (a short drive from Altamont).

These are probably best for walking as the trail is never too far from the lot and is perhaps a bit short for enjoying much of a run.

The Huyck Preserve has 12 miles of trails open to the public daily dawn to dusk. Trails snake along the Rensselaerville Falls, meander through peaceful old-growth forests, circumvent both Lake Myosotis and Lincoln Pond, and wind through several 80+ year old pine and spruce plantations. Lake Myosotis is open to the public for kayaking and canoeing as well as fishing.
