Hike Choices:
Breakneck Overlook: This hike has the glory of climbing Breakneck Ridge (this is the 4th peak of Breakneck) without actually climbing up the rock face. We will take a scenic walk in the woods through Cornish, climbing up the mountain towards this overlook, loop around to Hudson Overlook, and then come back down into camp. Approximate time hiking is 3 hours. You must be able to walk 20 minutes up an incline without getting short of breath in order to choose this hike.
Hinterlands: Difficulty level is moderate. Relatively short distance, although mostly inclines. Great option for families with children.
Cornish/Northgate Ruins: Explore the hauntingly beautiful collection of ruins called Northgate (or the Cornish Estate). Difficulty level ranges from rustic, unleveled roads to mild inclines. This is also a great option for families with children.
