Breakneck Ridge Loop

breakneckWhere: 3250 Route 9D, Cold Spring, NY What: 2.8 miles, strenuous (in case it's name didn't make that clear) Why: Breakneck is definitely not for the beginner or the faint of heart. This hike begins with climbing a huge rock wall, and the challenges don't stop there. Although the hike is taxing, you will end the day feeling exhilarated and refreshed. [Photo via @vaterps71]
