About this cache: Rockwood Hall is a distinct section of Rockefeller State Park Preserve with commanding views of the Hudson River and Palisade Cliffs. Just across the street from parking, this is a great place to start your hike around this 88 acre former estate of William Rockefeller. Rockwood Hall was a gilded age mansion of 204 rooms! There are no rest rooms here, so be sure to plan ahead!
Enjoy your visit! Bring a pen for signing the log and an extraction tool might make things easier for you to grab it! And PLEASE NO TRADE ITEMS.
