About the hike:

The River to Ridge trail is possibly the easiest walk that we have.  Terrain-wise it would be a level 1 or 2 (out of 10) difficulty however it is 6 miles of walking.  If you think you can handles 6 miles sign up! The path is a carriage road with is packed gravel. We start at the Wallkill River and walk to the base of the mountain ridge. (sneakers are fine).  There are a few inclines that are minor uphill. It is mostly out and back with 2 sections of small loops.
