  • Hike distance: 2.2 miles out and back

  • Trail rating: Moderate

Follow a piece of the Appalachian Trail to one of the best overlooks in the Hudson Valley. At only about 1.0 mile to the summit, the hike to Anthony's Nose is short and sweet. The only significant elevation you'll gain is over the first 0.5 miles of the hike. From there, it's relatively easy going until you reach the summit that offers sprawling views of the Hudson Valley and the Bear Mountain Bridge below.

Tip: For even more views on the way up, follow the Camp Smith Trail (also known as "Anthony's Nose Trailhead II"), which comes up from the other side.

**How to get to Anthony's Nose Hiking Trail from NYC: **

Simply take the Metro-North train from Grand Central to Cortlandt via the Hudson Line. From there, you can easily book an Uber to drive you 10 minutes to the trailhead.
