The Lost City Cliff
Enjoy a short hike through hemlock forest next to a small stream from the Coxing parking lot to the Lost City Cliff along the High Peter's Kill Trail. At the start of the hike, you'll stroll past the old Enderly family graveyard on your right, from early settlers in this area. Old stone walls from these early settlers still traverse the woods. For a portion of the trail, wooden planks are provided to walk over a swampy area. This trail is a popular hike either to continue up the High Peter's Kill Trail towards Minnewaska State Park's Peter's Kill parking lot, or to the Lost City cliffs, popular with rock climbers. After you've found the cache, consider continuing your hike to see the Lost City cliffs or further up the High Peter's Kill Trail.

Hazards
Be wary of ticks that could carry lyme disease, and occasional patches of poison ivy. The location of this cache shouldn't require any bush-whacking through poison ivy areas. Snakes are sometimes found in the area, but aren't that common. See my Shawangunk Snakes geocache description for some information about local snakes.
Parking
The Mohonk Preserve's Coxing parking lot is small and on nice-weather weekends is likely to be full during the day because of the wonderful Split Rock swimming hole across the street. Arrive very early, or at the end of the day to avoid being denied entry. Or bring your bathing suit and spend the day there. You will need to show Mohonk Preserve membership or purchase a day pass for entry. There is a pit toilet at the parking lot.
About the Mohonk Preserve
The Mohonk Preserve is a private land conservation organization established to protect the Shawangunk Ridge, it is not public land funded by the government. Therefore, there is a day use fee to use the preserve which funds its maintenance and programs. For the current day pass fees, check the Mohonk Preserve website. The Mohonk Preserve does allow geocaching on its land, as long as it is along established trails and carriage roads. Note that dogs must be leashed at all times.
