Gertrudes Nose

Rochester

Stand on the edge of a dramatic rock fin jutting from the Shawangunk Ridge, with sweeping views over glacial Lake Minnewaska and the Hudson Valley unfolding below. The six-mile loop mixes smooth carriage roads with rocky scrambles up the "nose," a geologist's playground of crumbling conglomerate cliffs.

Moderate day hike
Shawangunk Ridge views
Rock scrambling sections
Glacial lake scenery

Tips

🏔️"came here for the foliage, left with sick cliff and lake side views"
