After discovering there where no caches along this portion of the Shawangunk Ridge Trail, we decided to place some. This is the first of many caches that will follow the Shawangunk Ridge Trail south from here to the NY state line.
This one marks the starting point for the Shawangunk Ridge Trail running south from Old Mountain Road in Greenville, NY.
Parking isn't the greatest in this area. I had parked down the road from the trail entrance at the below waypoint.
Trail Info:
The Shawangunk Ridge Trail provides a hiking opportunity that runs for 35-miles along the length of the ridge from High Point to Minnewaska.
At High Point, it joins the world's longest linear park and greenway, the 2150-mile Appalachian Trail, which runs from Springer Mountain, Georgia to Mount Katadin in Maine.
The Long Path, a 300-mile trail from New York City through the Catskills to north of Thatcher State Park near Albany, also joins the Shawangunk Ridge Trail at the Wurtsboro Ridge Forest Preserve.
The Shawangunk Ridge Trail is considered part of the Long Path trail system because of the loop it forms starting from the Long Path - Appalachian Trail junction in Harriman State Park. It is managed as part of the Long Path.
Congrats to Walkin' Ed for the FTF!
