Hike Gertrude's Nose with Outdoors Club

"Get ready for one of the most spectacular hikes in the Hudson Valley! We're heading to Gertrude's Nose in Minnewaska State Park Preserve.The trail winds through dense wooded areas to beautiful views along various cliff edges and rock formations, with the crown jewel being Gertrude's Nose itself.

The route runs along dramatic cliffs of the Hudson Valley, so get ready for some rock scrambling. The route also has several little creek crossings along the way, so wear appropriate footwear. The full loop comes in at around 7 miles and takes approximately 4–5 hours. The park is located on the Shawangunk Ridge in Ulster County, about a 90-minute drive from campus — a perfect day trip!

Rental cars will be departing from JG at 9 AM sharp ... don't be late! Snacks and extra water will be provided, but please bring your own water bottle and dress for a hike (sturdy trail shoes are a must, and wear clothes you don't mind getting a little dirty). This one is a challenge, but the views from the top will make every step worth it!
