Best Hikes in Mohonk Preserve

Mohonk Preserve is technically a private nature preserve, so there's a small fee to get in, but it's absolutely worth it. Miles of trails through forests and along ridgelines with views that rival any state park in the area. It connects to Minnewaska too, so you can link up some really long routes if you're feeling ambitious.
